As Dims pointed out, the ratio of -2s on your recent patches is an aberration. It just happens that you've picked some tricky things to work on, and those things need more communication than they might in other projects because of the nature of Oslo. Please don't interpret them as shutting down discussion. > > The initial -2s where not as annoying as the stickyness of them.

Veto has a lot of connotations. In my case, the -2 is an indication that I think the requested change is a bad idea that needs more justification. I hadn't seen some of the recent comments on that patch because I've been working on something else today. I've suggested moving the conversation to the mailing list. After that discussion, we'll know the path forward. I believe Dan is at the Nova mid-cycle this week, so it's likely his -2 will be pretty sticky for now, too, since I expect he's otherwise occupied as well.
