[collections] XxxUtils constructors

[Stephen Colebourne <sc...@btopenworld.com>]

Do we need to have a revote and a result on this before the release?

If so, I think we would have to use a form of voting that is more likely to
get a result rather than a hung result.

I think that Single Transferable Vote is the most appropriate (rank the
options 1-5 and transfer the votes of the least popular according to second
prefs etc.) But this isn't in the jakarta rules, so would it be accepted.

An alternative would be a simple statement:
Change standard to protected  +1/+0/-0/-1
This gives a very restricted choice of course.

AFAIK...

it is acceptable for a POLL rather than a VOTE. one way to do things would 
be to run a POLL under those voting rules and then a plain accept/reject 
VOTE for the most popular proposal. when there are numerous possibilities,
  it makes sense to VOTE on the proposal most likely to carry a majority 
(first). you'll probably find that on a blocking issue like this that some 
people will not be willing to block progress even though they aren't in 
favour of the proposal.
