Due to the mail outage [1], the 3 days might be over before the voting
call has even hit the list.
I'll start a new vote once mails start flowing again.

I guess we cannot just resume the canceled vote and I think there's
already been too much confusion, so I'll start a new vote now. Sorry for
the trouble.
Regarding the voting period, can we start a vote with an undetermined
end and let it run until we get all the votes that we need?
I'll start it with the 3 day period nonetheless. If someone objects in a
few weeks and convinces the rest of us, we could probably revert this
change without too much effort.

I've always seen the 3-days as the minimum number of days the vote will run in order to give
everybody a chance to participate. If it takes us longer then there's no harm done by having it run
a week or even longer (think of people on vacation, etc.). All that's required is 3 binding +1 and
more +1 than -1.
