I would like to start a new thread, because this is an important

The question is : do we have to vote every release ?
There are pos and cons.
pros :
- people will be more aware about changes done in a specific part
- deploying the jar into maven when a vote has passed is a guarantee
that the released jar is endorsed by us
- required by the legal basis of the apache foundation, IIUC
cons :
- as we have now around 7 projects/sub-projects, plus a couple of
plugins (actually, 3, AFAIK), this might transform this PMC to a
vote machine ;)
- as many of those subprojects are bound to a bigger project, this
would be overkilling
- violates legal foundations of apache, again IIUC.
Thsoe pros/cons are just the few things which comes to my mind, so
feel free to discuss this further, then we may take a decision.
ATM, I think that we just need to vote for Server, Studio, and shared.
I would like to get your opinion.
Do you have some reason to think that releasing stuff without a pmc
vote is allowed by apache rules? I really thought that was the one
inalterable and inescapable duty of the PMC.
