No. As anyone who wants to not to focus on systemd would vote each such proposal over "focus on systemd", having Proposal F be above them all means that the sum of people voting them is less than the sum of people voting for Proposal F.
The strength of the Condorcet method is precisely that adding a new option cannot make an existing option beat another existing option. That is, there is no vote splitting.
- gnomewascool 7y ago> having Proposal F be above them all But Proposal F is very clearly NOT above them all. 207 people preferred B over F, while only 185 people preferred F over B. If F were above them all, it would be the Condorcet winner and hence would have necessarily won according to the Schulze method, which it didn't. B actually is the Condorcet winner, as it would beat every single other option in a one-to-one contest. (The fact that B is the winner according to the Schulze method doesn't necessarily imply that it is the Condorcet winner, as there might not be a Condorcet winner.) F being the "most voted option" is a misleading and mostly vacuous statement. All that can be said is that more people preferred F to "further discussion" (303 vs. 110), than preferred any other option to "further discussion". In particular, only 299 vs. 111 preferred B to "further discussion". However that has no bearing whatsoever on whether people preferred F over B. (My theory for why B didn't beat "further discussion" by quite such a large margin as F did, is that in the case of B both the only-systemd "extremists" and the anti-systemd "extremists" preferred "further discussion" to B, while in the case of F only the anti-systemd "extremists" preferred "further discussion" to F.)
