Of the two, I regard vote restriction as the more inconvenient and troublesome, certainly. But in terms of philosophy-to-code, it seems the same principle - giving admins tools in-line with the devs' values, rather than hard-coding those values into the software.

The more core issue is that Rimu, as an admin, has used that tool in a shitty way (restricting votes specifically to cut down the 'top voters', rather than any of the marginal utility uses).
