Here is the result of this vote for both questions:
1)
+1 =2
0 =1
-1 =3
2)
+1 =1
0 = 1
-1 = 4
None of the propositions passed. We though discussed about voting on this subject for the next releases of the R14.12 branch where the specialpurpose
components are present.
Thanks for your vote!

I tried to begin a discussion on this subject few times, notably at
http://markmail.org/message/lgqhdtotwhfebqmw
But nothing happened, so I think the best is to start a vote. I see 2 questions hence 2 votes, I don't think it's necessary to start 2 threads
because these 2 questions are closely related.
So please vote for both questions, the ballot will last a week to allow
everybody to have a chance to cast a vote.
You can refer to https://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html if you need
information on how to vote. I suggest we only use
+1 = I'm for
+0 = not sure
-1 = I'm against
1) Do you agree to reintroduce the evicted specialpurpose components in R13.07?
Notes:
The question is not about which components should and should not, it's all or nothing. Choosing component to put to Attic should be done in trunk as
we did with appserver recently.
I proposed 2 ways for doing that in the thread linked above, depending on the result of this vote this will be or not a new question (or might be
discussed again if the vote is positive)
The 2nd is of more importance since it concerns future releases
2) Do you agree to reintroduce the evicted specialpurpose components in future
R13.07 releases?
Note: Jacopo already started a thread about it at http://markmail.org/message/vwyuaokuzcj44z6w that's why I decided to ask for a vote to clearly and
definitively close this chapter with the help of the community. Personally I will be happy with the solutions the community will come with.
The current situation (all but ecommerce component evicted from specialpurpose in R13.07 branch and releases) comes from a lazy consensus (no formal
vote) but weirdly now both questions concern a code modification so can be vetoed. Note that the second question is not about releasing or not. So
it's not a vote on releasing a package, it's rather a preamble to future R13.07 package releases.
Thanks for your attention and please vote!
Jacques
