While I concur that probably quite a number of sysops even are able to provide an intelligent vote on the subject, I don't think that should materialise for the simple reasons that it's not a popularity poll and this is a technical mandate only...
 
For the first time in many many FTSC-elections there are competent candidates, nothing but competent candidates. In the past there have been nominations for pure political reasons, or to make certain there was a balance between Z1 and Z2 standing members while that is totally irrelevant, or simply to upset or annoy an opponent, etc... No political shit-show this time ...
 
Plus, a full nodelist-wide election (in my opnion) would make this way too top-heavy for its intended purpose....
 
DC> Does it take a change to P4 for such a change to actually happen?
 
The FTSC itself decides upon that "intra muros". Check 'www.ftsc.org' to find the procedures ...

Has your quest for knowledge been satisfied or do you need Gandalf's number?
