Hi Jan,
Venkatesh Seetharam is extremely active on the project, but couldn't vote
on this thread, while the others have contributed heavily to the project
earlier, but haven't been active in very recent times. The vote result was
announced after nearly 4 days of voting as enough votes have been cast, I am
sure all the PPMC members and more developers would have voted had it run for
longer.
Venkatesh Seetharam did express his views on the topic on the discuss thread on
the dev-mailing list that preceded the vote.
Regards
Srikanth Sundarrajan
