While a -1 on a release VOTE does not block the release, a -1 on a VOTE like graduation, entry into the incubator, policy change, etc, ordinarily blocks progress. We handle things this way at Apache because consensus decision keeps communities together. When issues are decided by majority rule, the minority's opinions can be disregarded -- and the losing faction ends up isolated. In contrast, when issues are decided by consensus, the majority has to go the extra mile to consider the opinions of the minority and possibly adjust their proposals. So it would be helpful if you would please clarify whether you intend to block Kylin's graduation this month. If not, please consider changing your position to -0 on graduation. On the other hand, if you do intend to block graduation, please indicate what could persuade you to change your position.
