Voting is weird?

What I do not understand (as I am trying to trace a bug inside CLDR) is how
voting works.

I got one part of a locale here that has a score of 5 versus a score of 4 and
the score of 4 won. Now, perhaps I am really misunderstanding something, but
last time I checked 5 still beat 4. Is it due to being included in 1.4 that it
gets preference over the weightier vote? (Which is a pity since it pulled a
mistake over to 1.5.x.)
