One could also claim that this paragraph applies to these principles: http://db.apache.org/source.html <quote> Doubtful changes, new features, and large scale overhauls need to be discussed before committing them into the repository. Any change that affects the semantics of an existing API function, the size of the program, configuration data formats, or other major areas must receive consensus approval before being committed. </quote> Which would then require three binding votes ... My issue with the currrent principles is that there was lots of good discussion which lead to the good, generally agreed upon, summary on the wiki. Then a single comment from a single individual leads to principles that don't match the summary in the wiki. I believe the principles should have been in-line with the wiki, since it was based upon discussion, then Kathey could have vetoed with a reason if required. The abrupt change really concerns me.
