I tried emailing him about it a couple months ago, after I made this comment about a different downside of it (bandwidth usage / response size): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20854662 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20854662 He didn't consider it an issue worth fixing, and didn't reply to my long follow-up email trying to explain how wasteful and inefficient the current voting process is and how simple it would be to improve.
