3 is the minimal number that is needed for a formal acceptance. So I see no problem with it. Click has been a successful open source project done the Apache way before entering Apache, so I think it is definitely ready to graduate now. While a possibility of a vote deadlock exists, it does exist for any other Apache project as well.

Interesting aspect of this though... say a PMC member X goes AWOL. Will it be valid for the 2 remaining members to vote another person in the PMC? I'd say yes, but definitely a non-standard situation...

Comparing the original proposal to the graduation resolution it seems
that click entered incubation with 4 committers and proposes to leave
with 3.

IMO a PMC of three is not enough - one person disappears and you can't
get the three votes required to do anything.

Hi all,

The Apache Click PPMC would like to have feedback on the following
graduation proposal before asking for a vote. The Click community already
votes in favor of graduation which is recorded here:
