Hey Jacek,
BTW, I apologize about the blessing of the final 3 +1s within the 18
hours period. I did not mean to go against your statement. I just
recalled an email about 3 +1s allowed it to happen and there was no
need
to wait...that a -1 could be waged at anytime in the future. If I
stepped over the line here, then my complete apologies. I think I may
be trying to feel my way through this as well...and I may bump into a
wall every now and then.
I'd rather not troll back through the postings, but I certainly
recall that the same guidelines -- there wasn't a minimum time period
for an RTC vote. Once you have 3 +1's you would be able to commit and
there can still be a -1 at any time (hopefully with some statute of
limitation) that will force the commit to be reverted. I think this
process works. I'd also expect that a -1 would be preceded by a
healthy discussion berore the -1...

Took longer than expected because I happened to switch to a terminal

god hates me so much.
It's because it needs a solution as I think you won't be alone in
your
pain of applying patches/changes that are incompatible with the unix
patch command.
I think it would be much better if the person who makes a change is
not the one who commits it to trunk, but the last PMCer who voted for
it. And a branch the change is built from is established. The
solution
has such a good effect that the person who works on changes don't
have
to worry about the commit date until it's rejected when (s)he or
anyone else will fix it and a vote starts over (with 24-hour time
period). Another good effect is that knowing the revisions a change
that's being voted, one can continue his/her work without worrying
about disrupting the vote process as the revisions are still in the
branch. Phew, I do like the idea! ;-)
WDYT?
