yes, the simpler the better.  While you are at it, you could also
remove NEEDSWORK, I think the reasons for not accepting a proposal
can be explained informally in the discussion.
I think most of the time a consensus should be built in the
discussion, which is then just ratified by the voting.

As a technical point, better make it > 2/3 for accept,
otherwise zero non-abstain votes would suffice for acceptance.

Finally, I don't like the delegation of voting rights,
and since abstention is not counted against a proposal
this is not needed.
