It's surely easier to count the votes that officially count when it's  
specified.  There have been requests on prior votes to have this  
specified.

Well, formally the community _is_ split - there are PMC members and  
there are non-PMC members, and there are contributors, etc.  So there  
are most definitely "groups" here.  The good news is that by  
volunteering and scratching your itches, you can be in any role you  
like.  I'm personally on the very lame side of a PMC member status,  
and don't really even feel part of the incubator at all other than to  
follow along with a couple of pet projects.

It is not being done to impress anyone, but rather to assist those  
tallying votes by request.  I'm happy to drop it though, and "just  
vote" - I've often forgotten to mention the binding nature of my  
votes anyway.
