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.
