I had assumed this was a non-technical discussion/vote where the changes are made in docs on suggested changes to how CloudStack is deployed and used with CentOS7. I assumed this will follow as a doc PR to the QIG.
Changes to docs aren't normally considered technical as per our project bylaws as they don't impact changes in source code or releases. Three different PMCs have already advised on this thread that voting isn't mandatory for this. However, assuming Daniel has followed the bylaws and is suggesting this as a technical change that removes support in source code or releases, then I oppose such a change. -1 (binding/veto) if we're going to technically remove support for centos7 with stock qemu, that is in source code and packaging/releases. CentOS7 will EOL until 2024 and stock support should be supported until then.

The discussion was made via another thread[¹]; therefore, this vote was created with the intention to summarize the discussion we had and then to officially approve (or not approve) the idea discussed. Finally, to emphasize, this is the voting thread, intended to reflect the decision we seem to have agreed upon in the other thread[¹]. I would kindly ask to avoid polluting this thread with discussions not related to the voting itself. Furthermore, as already stated, there is a consensus in the discussion thread; therefore, there is no harm in giving a +1 here.
