I would want Rich and/or Bertrand to confirm that you can in fact vote +1 without checking sigs and running the build and doing some sort of test, but I would be surprised if anyone felt that you had to run the same tests on RCN that you ran on RCN-1 if no code changed. On TDF, I doubt if any vote

Before we discuss what the guidelines say, I think we need to get our definitions in sync. Two really simple questions: 1) When someone asks to have their vote carried over, are they stating that they know their previous vote is still valid? Yes or no? 2) When someone votes +1 on RC #1 and then

If we’re wrong on the second point, then I think the entire discussion of carrying votes became moot, and we’ve spent an awful lot of time and energy on a non-issue. We can simply state that to vote on a new RC one either needs to recheck all artifacts of the RC or be confident that their origi
