 (*) 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.
