A binding governance poll could potentially negate or complicate Reddit's work in progress.
And if that's what the users wanted?
If I'm understanding how donuts work, 1 donut = 1 vote right? That sounds ripe for tyranny of the majority by the minority.

No, that's not correct. If you get 100 donuts from the weekly distribution, 51 of them will be governing donuts that you cannot give away. The remaining 49 are for other uses, but are not counted towards the poll. That's why you will see votes with 18m donuts cast, 8m locked donuts on the poll.
And reddit has decided to proceed with the donut implementation that the community has funded the work on. I would have preferred they get the community consent first via governance poll, but I'm guessing they already allocated work on this and made some assumptions.
