To the moderators,
It could be that numerous people just don't want to get sucked up into an endless discussion about the pros and cons of this proposal and just want to weigh in with their feelings about whether they support the proposal or not.
Fortunately, consensus isn't about vote counting. Here's what rfc7282 says about consensus:
[...] This also reveals one of the great strengths of using consensus over voting: It isn't possible to use "vote stuffing" (simply recruiting a large number of people to support a particular side, even people who have never participated in a working group or the IETF at all) to change the outcome of a consensus call.
