Our PMCs have a lot of leeway and the board doesn't micromanage them. In our loosely-coupled communities vetoes can give too much power to individuals, that's why https://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html is so restrictive about them. I'd say broadly allowing vetoes works as long as people don't use them, or just use them in a friendly and temporary way. But if people are all friendly you don't really need rules anyway ;-) -Bertrand
