Shortly after BSDCan in mid-June, Warner Losh proposed a - change to style(9) which resulted in some lively - discussion. An informal poll was conducted via Phabricator - and the change was committed within a couple of days. - Unfortunately, this did not meet with universal approval and - Core was called upon to arbitrate. Warner backed out the - change, recognizing that there had not been enough time - allowed for proper discussion. Many people were still in - transit from BSDCan, and the voting arrangements did not suit - everyone. A new poll has since been held, with votes either - by e-mail or the Slowvote facility of Phabricator. This - resulted in approval of the change by a wide margin.
