For future rounds, I wonder if there shouldn't be a voting option to "defer vote" on each proposal bundle. Say majority of community hasn't really grappled with the issue fully yet, and the proposals are imperfect but have achieved sponsorship -- when the proposal has moved into voting there may be desire to vote for imperfect option just so it doesn't get blocked from being proposed again if it fails. Having a defer vote option gives community the ability to say "we are interested in a change here but not these ones, or not yet"... relevant proposal threads can then be reactivated in congress for the next round, making for better flow to discussion rather than a different-but-same discussion thread starting again after the failed-proposal cooldown wears off, or new discussion about repealing half-baked changes etc.
edit: maybe also sticky the main forum proposal threads during voting phase? having other discussion threads mixed in between them strikes me as distracting; I rarely click past first page of main forum if any happen to fall off, and I imagine many who visit here do same.
