After some off-list discussion, we've decided to cancel this vote for now.  Reviewing the previous discussion we had agreed to dig into the question of how to capture fewer variables when possible, but haven't had the opportunity to do so yet.  In the interest of honesty we're going to stop the vote for now, and Nuno is going to try to do so before the end of June so that we can hopefully bring it back to a vote with an improved implementation, or at least a roadmap for how the implementation can be improved without behavioral changes.

Thank you to everyone that's voted so far; we'll be back as soon as possible for you to vote again.
