I think this threas is about 

   [VOTE] target-less build files

And the vote resulted in a majority +1.

You can vote any implementation of this feature - if you have valid 
reasons and a better implementation. Any veto on the grounds that this
feature shouldn't be implemented is IMHO invalid.

And if Stefan really want his implementation accepted, I think the 
rules for revolutions allow a majority to accept the code in.

But even without 'revolution', I think the requirements for a veto 
include a proposal for a better solution to implement the feature
( at least for features that had been voted ).
