Sure, to reiterate comments made in other threads. The issue started with a missing SGA. The SGA missing was problematic for a few reasons:
- The discussion thread was started without all required pre-steps resolved. - The vote thread was started before the SGA was submitted to the secretary. In the meanwhile, a release vote was started for Kylin where supposedly previously fixed licensing issues were found to not be resolved. In that case, it was noted that the issue was raised before, the JIRA marked as resolved, however the issue wasn't actually resolved. From there, it seems that pressure was put on the IPMC member who had voted -1 to change his vote. From my point of view, a graduating podling shouldn't have licensing issues in releases, due to the risks that it raises. It seems odd to me that two major licensing problems came up so quickly for this one podling. At this point, licensing issues to me do block the graduation of Kylin. It can be resolved with a new release vote that fixes the licensing issue and I'll happy vote +1 if all licensing problems are resolved. I would encourage the mentors to closely compare Kylin to the recently proposed maturity model and see if there are any gaps.
