We are [now] treating showstoppers in 2.0 as sancrosect. That means they can be overridden. It does not mean they may be removed from STATUS, they may be moved from SHOWSTOPPERS to NEEDS A FIX. But one individual cannot block the progress of the Apache HTTP Project. If they can, it's time for a heated debate in pmc@, followed by board approval of a new charter for this project. Bill
