In fact, I did take the time to properly examine the artifacts and vote on that RC. One of the reasons I did that was to make it more likely that folks like Om who may not have the time to re-examine the artifacts would feel more comfortable allowing a carryover of their vote. The only two changes in this RC were both text-based, a corrected URL in the NOTICE and an unrelated change to an XML config file. Everyone had the opportunity to review the commit that changed the NOTICE, and if Justin and I both claim the corrected NOTICE is in the artifacts, I and most others thought that would be sufficient oversight. -Alex
