I think that was the right thing to do. For now, we can see if things die down, and if that's the case we can put the poll back up. Since many people seemed to be unhappy about the nominations, I suggest that for the next years we make it an opt-in process, i.e. that we ask people to nominate themselves or others on a forum thread or on a blog post. Then, if we get enough nominations, we can put the poll up with a short description of the contributions of each nominee, and otherwise we can pass it for that year.
