Good plan :-) Except maybe one nit: some of us here in python-dev don't read c.l.p, so their vote wouldn't get taken into account. Even though you didn't want this to be discussed here, I hope you don't mind posting my -1 here.

It seems there we will a separate Call-for-votes (probably done by Aahz) also to the announce list so it's not too difficult to participate.

Nobody will try to sort out the votes from the well over 600 postings (and growing). No doubt, the real motiviation was to boost python's popularity so that it wins the 'february' comparisons of language newsgroup activities.
