If you disregard abstentions, it is a majority decision.  More yes's
than no's means you get in.  I think the voter should have to pick one
or the other, and not be allowed to abstain from any candidate(s).

I also wonder how it was decided that only RC's can vote for these
candidates.  Why not NC's also.  Why not the peasant-class of
nodelisted sysops?  I saw somewhere in this conversation recently (I
think) that it was deemed that only RC's would have the requisite
intelligence/knowledge to know if a particular candidate was qualified
for such a job.  I disagree with that assumption very strongly.

Oh well.  I shall go back to my peasantly duties now.
