Someone eventually did count the votes the "instant runoff" way, and got "1 
week" as a result. To avoid confusion, including on my part, everything 
should be repealed.

Some time ago I had a proposal for a "nonbinding suggestion" regarding the 
.libre TLD which won out (though was rejected by the owner of the .libre 
TLD). There's nothing wrong with doing these nonbinding sort of votes 
(honestly I still have no idea how "instant runoff" works and was simply 
going by "last place eliminated from next round" when I wrote the second 
proposal) with yea/nay to approve it.
