Since the poll is a straight yes/no option with no preference, I will express my preference here.
I considered using the Condorcet method [1] (modified for NotA), but as past experience has shown that people get easily confused by it, I decided to create a "plain" poll, instead.
While I find the term quibble fun and amusing, I think hextet is a far more useful term because it does not have the overloaded human semantics that come with quibble.
To be completely honest, while I did know the term, I had forgotten about it. This is part of the reason why I am seeking a wider audience. I'll add this consideration to the draft. I agree that this might be (not has to be) a deal breaker.
I'm sorry to quibble with the majority here, but, in this case, I think we have enough problems with ambiguous terminology in networking and this opportunity to avoid creating one more should not be missed.
Agreed. OTOH, Hextet is not technically correct while appearing to be so. Thanks a lot, Richard [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condorcet_method
