To be honest, I didn't expect to see Hectochess featured this soon, but it is nice to see my efforts recognized, at least in a small way, so thank you. When I made my case for the game, I thought of it as less of a nomination and more of a a comment pointing out that Hectochess met the requirements (sans being seconded) for being featured. I expected it to be swept under the rug.
That being said, it seems that the featured variants system is garnering some serious debate among the more senior members. Especially Jean-Louis Cazaux is frustrated by this process of featuring variants. Perhaps during the holiday months we could step back and make some improvements to this system rather than feature a variant through the current system.
No voting system is flawless, but given what some are saying about the voting system, improving the voting system for featured variants, even in a small way, would be a good idea.
That being said. I might make a case for Seireigi in the future, once it gets a few more years under its belt.
