## Summary
This UMIP proposes an upgrade to the Voting module within the DVM to add flexibility to price identifiers. This upgrade
will allow price requests to include a data blob of arbitrary length (up to 8192 bytes) to provide additional arguments
or data for the price resolution process.
## Motivation & Rationale
Governance votes are extremely common and fairly costly. The largest contributor to governance votes is the requirement
for any contract that wants to track a new asset to have a new identifier approved for that asset. This means the
developer who's deploying this contract must write a new UMIP, the team must review, and all voters must submit votes
