I'd ask you not to make any feature updates, even teeny weeny ones, if you can. The voting period should only be a couple of weeks. Work on them, but don't push them to the repository if you can. If it's something that happens or comes about because of a bug fix then maybe that can't be helped. We wouldn't expect you to disable the feature again It's such a grey area, because to be honest there's someone who always breaks this rule if they mean to do it or not.. I understand it's awkward and sometimes frustrating.

About the voting, I've contacted woody tonight to let him know how we've been going with the list of entries and asked how his voting mechanism testing was going. Hopefully we'll hear good news back. As soon as I know more, you all will know
