Hard Fork changes which have large economic consequences should come down to a vote, that and perhaps the branding/logos, otherwise it shouldn't be voted upon by the community.
That is fine by me.
Apart from the significance of the code change, I am curious about the "voting". To the best of my knowledge, a "binding vote" on a HF is a vote by stakeholders for (a) the witnesses who choose whether incorporate the HF, and possibly (b) for developers who might be funded by a worker proposal. Am I mistaken?
If I am correct, then "non-binding voting" by stakeholders is carried out on various channels either on forums, posts, et cetera as a means to indicate to witnesses and developers their preferences in a non-binding manner.
