IIUC this is based on my remark in another thread that http://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html specifies that -1 only means veto for code commits. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLEX/Guidelines says the default is "consensus" which IIUC means "unanimity" - IMO that's not good, as a single -1 can block decisions. Using majority votes is better in general IMO, assuming the community still takes -1s into account and works to change them into approval. But with a majority vote you can go forward and tackle specific issues in parallel. -Bertrand
