Personally I think there SHOULD be two votes. One to decide if a 
conditional expression should even be included in the first place. Then 
if the decision is yes, decide what operator to use.

Well.. I suppose this could still be one "ballot," although it's two votes.

ie:
Yes/No/Neutral to PEP308
and then your top X choices. X=3 seems fine and the could be weighted in 
the order they're listed (if you like).
