Hi John, Given the state of Apache documented processes, I think it was perfectly fine to close this vote with a RESULT. I was not confused after reading
>>> We will correct the noted problems and submit a 0.8.1-RC4. Recognizing that this document is (still!) in draft status http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html#note-votes "It is conventional to end a VOTE thread with a RESULT post tallying the votes cast. To preserve the thread, this should be done by replying to the original VOTE post and adding a [RESULT] prefix. The subject may be retained as is or edited to indicate the result." I have seen both positive and negative vote results announced as results. If we expect folks to follow the proposed rule “Usually when a vote does not pass, the person initiating the vote sends out a [CANCEL] rather than a [RESULT] (result inherently is treated as a "it passed" email).” we should publish this rule somewhere.
