I agree, and we need to decide quickly what to do with the ballot. We
don't want to merge v1, but the current votes still have a majority of
'yes'. My preference would be to withdraw the ballot, which needs to be
done before 22:00 UTC today, if I'm not confused.

Parav, what do you think? If you request to withdraw the ballot, that's
easy to do; we'll just open a new one once we've agreed on a version.
