Dmitry, this might be helpful: http://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html
The goal with Apache voting is not usually a simple majority, but rather full consensus where abstentions are counted as acceptance. Your -1 vote derails the consensus, but appears to have been made for non-technical reasons. One way forward is for you to provide a technical rationale (suppose that BSP did something totally non-mathematical, for instance, or suppose that it had obvious bugs or no tests cases). Another way forward would be to change your vote to -0 to indicate you are very happy with the change, but do not intend to block it.
