Re Fischer / Byo-Yomi, it seems very obvious to me that we should try Fischer as the default, especially since we have all the plumbing already in place to have both as options and allow people to prefer or require Byo-Yomi if they so choose, which I think we should keep in place for the foreseeable future since I recognize a significant part of the population will likely still prefer Byo-Yomi for some time to come.
60/40% to me is a very strong signal because of the fact that Byo-Yomi is the de-facto standard everywhere, yet we have a majority here saying that we should make a switch. Folks are generally resistant to change, so the fact that we had a notable majority overcome that change inertia and vote for Fischer, combined with internal pressures at the EGF/AGA and various tournaments to move to Fischer as well, indicates to me that collectively the community is moving in that direction and the site should do so as well.
