> ***Releases may not be vetoed***. To be absolutely clear; Yes they sort of can. If someone points out a *legal* problem, the release manager must not proceed. The release manager can also (after all it is volunteer effort) halt the release based on input from community, and community may have its own unwritten policy that full consensus should be achieved... so, there are variants... Veto on Commits is otherwise the tool to stop 'bad things', typically things like "breaking compatibility" and "security issue" are candidates for vetoes. Note, vetoes without justification are invalid, and justifications like "I don't like it" or "we don't need this feature" are no good as vetoes.
