Starting with that last remark, the vote that was started earlier today is the "Community Graduation Vote" where we as the ACE community vote to confirm that we are ready and willing to start the graduation process (as explained here http://incubator.apache.org/guides/graduation.html#tlp-community-vote). Before that, on the ACE list, and in the last board report, we already expressed that we feel we're ready to graduate. Whilst I don't mind adding a step before this one in the graduation guide, I am not aware of skipping a step in the process. > The release does look a bit dubious to me. Point taken, we appreciate all the feedback and will take that into account when doing the next release. Greetings, Marcel
