(*) denotes a ballot received that did not include a vote for
    the given TIP.  PRESENT is assumed.
(**) Poster did not explicitly cast 8.5 and 9.0 ballots, but
     intent was abundantly clear from the discussion.

Totals:
   TIP #156: 6 YES, 0 NO, 6 PRESENT
   TIP #157 (8.5): 8 YES, 4 NO
   TIP #157 (9.0): 9 YES, 2 NO, 1 PRESENT

TIP #156 passes.
TIP #157 passes for implementation in 8.5.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all parties for their
patience in dealing with the highly contentious TIP #157.  It is
without doubt a compromise that fits nobody's ideal. (Alas, the
essence of compromise is that everyone comes out a little bit
dissatisfied.) I hope that, now that the vote is past, we can put
the differences behind us and move forward to implementing it.
