+Updates to this document
+========================
+
+Any major updates to this document (that is, those that change its
+content rather than just fixing typos or adding small clarifications)
+require a vote of all developers.  The vote passes if both of the
+following conditions are fulfilled:
+
+* The ratio of positive to negative votes is at least two to one, and
+* the number of positive votes is no less than one quarter of the number
+  of eligible voters.
