[ ] +1 approve [ ] +0 no opinion [ ] -1 disapprove (and reason why) NOTES: - All releases by podlings must be approved by the Incubator PMC. The conventional process is for the podling to follow the usual Apache process and then call for a Incubator PMC VOTE on the general incubator list. For RC5 however, following recommendations from our mentors, we are proceeding to a parallel vote on both general@incubator and s4-dev
