Sorry Jeff - I don't believe evolt.org agreed bandwidth limits with you.

There were 2: Madhu and Dave K. Dave K changed his mind:
http://lists.evolt.org/theforumarchive/Week-of-Mon-20041108/001092.html

Other than that, none. John even gave a last call, specifically requesting
dissenting opinion:
http://lists.evolt.org/theforumarchive/Week-of-Mon-20041108/001077.html

So, a total of 2 dissenters. We have 6 times that saying +1 to the current
vote.
