What you would have liked is your problem. As I repeated quite a few times and you don't seem to hear is that the decision about a release is a majority vote and can't be vetoed - even if it pisses off some people. A vote on a feature or revolution doesn't mean the end of other features or codebases. As long as each codebase can gather a majority vote - things are going well. There are people who can vote +1 on more than one release and codebase. What's important is that most of the people who vote +1 on a codebase don't automatically vote -1 on the other codebase - which is the real solution. If you don't need or care about something - it doesn't mean you should vote -1 on it. If 3 fellow commiters are voting +1 - then probably there is a real need or issue. I don't think anyone voted -1 on a 4.0 release, and nobody voted -1 on the 3.3 release ( if I remember correctly ). And I think the same should apply to other apache projects, even older ones.
