Changing one of my votes:

1 NO

reason for this is that this rule can be abused and can't really be enforced 
in a clear way.

Simple example: What I mean is, one expects users to call votes such as

> Do we want to switch software from X to Y?

There's now voting result for yes=40%/no=60% whereas 40% of the community 
wants to switch a specific software and 60% does not want to -> We keep using 
X as software and don't switch.

However, they could also be calling a vote

> Do we want to keep using software X instead of switching to Y?

The result for this voting is yes=60%/no=40% whereas "only" 60% of the 
community wants to keep using the software and 40% does not want to -> We no 
longer want to keep using software X because of how the voting was defined.

It's also impossible to enforce to a voting that has more than two possible 
choices (instead of simple yes/no).

So my voting for this is:

1 NO
2 YES
3 YES
4 YES
5 YES
6 NO
