I agree that adding a RC1, RC2, etc to the voting subject is useful. Concerning a discussion thread I have some concerns: - If we do not want discussion on the voting thread, I think a separate release discussion thread always needs to be created when creating a release vote. Otherwise I expect it is hard to control where discussions replies will occur. - I am not sure if a seperate discussion thread will make the overall process more clear. Especially when looking back to an earlier vote. Because if there is a separate discussion thread, I expect every +0 or -1 vote will refer to discussion thread for more info, possible making the vote arguments more difficult to follow. > > > > > Please treat this as feedback from a fellow Apache person and not as > > official Board feedback. > > > > Chris > > > > PS: Please keep me in the loop and make sure I'm on CC, as I'm not > > subscribed to this list. > > > -- > Peng Zheng Pepijn
