We actually have two *invalid* vetos I recall you aduced the change is not backwards compatible. Backwards compatibility is not a requirement for 4.0 release, especially in this case since we are trying to comply with a stricter standard. (Plus you added a section for backwards incompatible changes in the Release notes, so I guess you know it is OK). http://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html "To prevent vetos from being used capriciously, they must be accompanied by a technical justification showing why the change is bad (opens a security exposure, negatively affects performance, etc. ). A veto without a justification is invalid and has no weight." So you have two weeks to look for a valid technical justification: Pedro.
