I disagree. The major works section should not work by public opinion.
Although I agree that the changes are quite good that voted works will get into MW (My faith in democracy hold the collective of voters in some esteem, hoping that it will balance out the undeserving works) But it should not be automated.
The idea of 'YC Members' Choices' is already in place using the rating system; search by popularity (downloads/opens), and the radio fulfills the same purpose. There is enough vox populi...
