I'm not about to shoot this release down. It's an observation from trying to reconcile the releases in dist w/ the monthly report list to ensure everything looks right (since I typically go against the [RESULT] emails). We've had issues in the past where podlings with three active mentors all vote +1 on the dev list and tried to announce the release. This smells like this approach, though I do appreciate that the contents were at least put in front of the incubator. The incubator has defined provisions to allow for an alternate release process that gives the PPMC more governance once they have a practice down. I'd strongly recommend that any podling who wants to follow that process attempt to adopt the 2013 Alternate Voting process. I would still appreciate it if the podling sends a [RESULT] vote to general@ to close the vote thread.
