It means abstain if the vote says so. Nobody is volunteering to do anything
when they vote, they are approving, or not, or no opinion. All those people
giving their +1 are not also offering to help with the migration, but saying 
with
a positive vote that it should happen. Stop being so obtuse please and go with
the flow a bit more to let things happen. Guidance is appreciated I'm sure, but
don't throttle.
