Some of these are very subjective, and some are fraught with bias, for various reasons (e.g., the text on the name collisions submission site itself). There are certainly advantages to the approach used in the previous round, but suggesting that it was successful--at least without any definitive metrics on which to base that subjective description--is counter-productive.

I think what you mean is that no such occurrences were reported.  I'm not saying that there were occurrences, but I am emphasizing that the feedback channel was imperfect, and "not reported" does not necessarily mean "didn't happen".
