This is unfortunately not the way Apache projects operate. Vetos
are not overridden by a majority votes.
This isn't overriding the veto. You've based your veto on changes in
project plan that have never been discussed or agreed to. At Ian's
suggestion, I wrote my statement to clarify what the project wanted to
do. It is completely appropriate for the PMC to vote about what the
project should do going forward. I would hope that if the PMC votes
for my proposal that you'd withdraw your veto since the basis for your
veto would have been rejected.
