Sorry, two wrongs to do make a right. If other Commons components have made
a mess of specific releases in the past, then that's sad. Either the RAT
report is clean or it is not. If it is clean, I have to assume that
exclusions in the POM for specific files or types of files have been done
with careful consideration and that I can always go digging in the commit
log to see a hopefully useful comment as to why the exclusion was made.

Since this is a release to address a security issue, I would have hoped
that all details would have been handled with extra care.

I'd never get away with a sloppy release at work, and I hope I won't have
to here either.

In any case, a -1 is not a veto on a vote thread like it is on a commit, so
this vote may yet pass. It's up to you as the RM to decide what to do.

I know that cutting releases is still a pain, we have a lot of gymnastics,
it's not like pushing a button, but that' what we're stuck with for now.
