Each site will be able to request it on a one-off basis. As I mentioned on Lars' answer, we're not going to force any site into this. But I'm also not going to blanket promise not to make this change on newer sites if they ask for it.

Regarding "some posts have more than 3 people with an opinion on either side", questions can be reopened once they're closed, and closed again; it's natural if the community agrees or disagrees on closure... it happens all the time on bigger sites (especially if said posts get edited/improved during closure). Users can't vote to close questions they've already successfully closed, so everyone with the rep requirement gets an equal opportunity to say whether they think a question should be closed or open, should it come to that.

But in small sites re-opening basically doesn't happen at all. Furthermore, I totally disagree that questions should be closed and re-opened and closed again like that... it's not good for the (sometimes new) users to have to see their question's status constantly changing like that. You say "everyone with the rep requirement gets an equal opportunity to say whether they think a question should be closed or open", which is already the case whether the requirement to close is 3 votes or 10 votes. I just don't think on a new (and small) site we should be closing questions with only 3 votes.
