This is a typical example of something that feels like a release blocker to some people, while others couldn't care less and will want to move forward. So it's back to the discussion about vetoes being harmful. If you allow them, people who care about this can block a release, even if the majority of the PMC doesn't want to delay a release for something that they see as a minor issue. That's where the Apache best practices say the majority is right, at the expense of disappointing the minority and for the benefit of projects moving forward faster by trusting the majority. -Bertrand
