Robert, you know better than this. I can't believe I really need to quote how the ASF works to you of all people. But I do need to do so for others who might be reading this: "Reasons for Votes People tend to avoid conflict and thrash around looking for something to substitute - somebody in charge, a rule, a process, stagnation. None of these tend to be very good substitutes for doing the hard work of resolving the conflict." http://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html Ross --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
