Hehe, that's the nice thing here at Apache. Since we only discuss those things on strictly technical levels we are still all brothers, even if we get some -1 sometimes :) Don't worry Dan, if there are diverse opinions, then we have passed the test for the first lesson: free thinking :) Having some +1 and -1 in an early discussion phase only means one thing: we need more arguments. Lincoln, most of the times (at least if you see that a few people already casted +1 for some idea) it's very helpful if you underline your -1 with technical arguments means "_why_ you don't like type-safe logging" and/or the requirements you would have for such a feature to be successful. Most votes here are majority votes [1], but I've seen it many times that (even after there are already lots of +1 on the table) a single person outlined a problem and did cast -1. And if the argument is valid, it's pretty often the case that the others recall their +1 and change it to -1 as well. It's really all about the arguments.
