You can't draw any conclusions from last year's vote. The voting options 
were flawed: some people rejected the category model, while others 
rejected the budget increase.
Fact: model A (category model) received 3.3x more votes than model B 
(same budget as model A) in round 1.

I'm not saying that the category model would automatically win this 
year, but your justification for excluding it is invalid.
