It looks like we have a draw with weigh-in from the community
on a +1 to accept the patch.
We need more discussion here.
I'm a bit confused about this. Excuse me while I tread carefully. It
seems that the community vote is clearly a majority to accept the
patch. If the end result of this vote is that we don't follow that
vote because it's only the PMC vote that counts, doesn't that mean
that community votes are irrelevant?
It means "We need more discussion here". Getting consensus is
important, especially when the main development contributors have
disagreements.
