I'd rather see people speaking up, so (potential) issues can be discussed and resolved than people not reviewing release candidates at all, not caring for the project - or even worst - rubberstamping releases with their +1s without even taking a closer look at the release artifacts, for example by "judging from the release vote thread, everything looks ok, so here's my +1".

Anyone who easily gets frustrated with objections and confrontations should not be here at the Incubator anyway, that's my advice.
