Indeed. Further editing where said to be self-evident. [1] And the <figure>
result announcement ended with an encouragment from the co-chairs "to write
specific and actionable bug reports on areas where this element is deficient".

Apart from a possible need to adjust the expectations (see above), there is
also such a thing as «simply won, easy lost». I agree that a process that is
felt "free and fair" and respectful by all, is likely to cause less debate in
the aftermath. And thus I agree that the way this process developed, may
negatively have affected the how the "winners" experienced their "vicotry" – it
didn't become the end station they had hoped. 

So I would encourage the the co-chairs to make sure that the decision process
is taken very seriously, *also* in the cases when the outcome of the process is
easy to predict.
