Please see several emails from Greg and others on the board@ list recently pointing out the inappropriateness of overuse of votes. If even *one* person strongly objects, there is no consensus. There is a strong handful of people who strongly object. So there's no consensus. This isn't a majority issue. I don't uniquely own the role of testing consensus. If you want to send a message that tests consensus on your proposal, or more accurately tests consensus on the idea of asking the board for permission to do a trial run of your proposal, go right ahead. I feel confident that it will attract enough firm -1 votes to demonstrate a lack of consensus in favor of the idea. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
