<p>Currently, three Leave Open votes take a question out of the close queue and <a href="http://meta.stackexchange.com/a/151373/189912">begin the aging</a> of the existing close votes, if it had not already begun by the <a href="http://meta.stackexchange.com/a/97581/189912">question receiving 100 views</a>. When aging begins, close votes expire four days later.</p>

<p>This question <a href="http://serverfault.com/review/close/94580">received its three Leave Open votes</a> and will remain open unless two other people go far out of their way to hunt down the question and throw close votes on it in the next few days.</p>

<p>I think that in general this system works, and seems to have worked in this particular case.</p>
