END OF DISCUSSION." This is my understanding as well. In any case, you seem to agree with the wording that I gave above, since you say it represents existing policy. Since I can find no place on the IPMC or ASF website where this policy is actually stated (and please correct me if I missed it), it might be good if we took my summary from above and put it into the Podling Release Guide. I know there is an ongoing effort to clean up the IPMC website. I'd be happy to submit a patch.
