 From a policy PoV this is interesting, because the incorrect version was 
noticed fairly quickly, but it was not noticed that the RFC recently 
changed. When that was noticed, the 7-day window to cancel the vote 
already expired, meaning there are now two conflicting policy 
violations. But since this issue was pointed out early on, I ultimately 
agree with the canceling of the vote.
