Alright, given the snow, holiday, and the lack of bylaws stating that I
cannot do this:
I'm extending the VOTE on 1.5.1-RC2 until 02/19/2014 1900 EST (this
extends the original duration to a week for those keeping track). This
is expected to provide an additional two full work days for people to
inspect the release.
Let's get some good feedback before then, folks.

Either way works for me.
I was just suggesting a more formal approach in the absence of bylaws
that explicitly permit extensions. The general concern, I suppose, is
that vote extensions could be used to manipulate to a desired outcome
in a majority approval scheme... so having the vote conditions fixed
at the time it is announced prevents that. I don't think that's a
serious concern, though... especially since we all have the same goal
of producing a quality release, and preventing one that falls short of
that.
With the bylaws in place, things are simpler, because we'd have
already agreed on those bylaws, and wouldn't need to do anything
silly, like vote on whether to allow a vote extension in the first
place (which would get obnoxious).

A somewhat more formal way of "extending" the vote would be to simply
retract/cancel this vote (or let it lapse with no votes), and just
re-issue another vote with identical artifacts at a more opportune
time. I point this out for two reasons:
1) I don't want to undermine Josh's work to create this release
candidate. He shouldn't have to do that again if nothing has changed
and we just need more time to review. And,
2) The vote was called with a 72hr. notice, and changing that after
the fact is probably a bit questionable. We can achieve the same
effect without modifying the characteristics of the vote, by simply
calling a new vote, identical to this one, later.
I'm not sure that extending the vote is questionable. I think it would be
fine if Josh just said the vote deadline is extended to X (perhaps an
additional 72 hours, or maybe event one week from the original post since
many people have Monday off). Some Apache projects explicitly mention that
votes may be extended in their bylaws [1], so that's something we could
consider when we write ours.
But if people would feel more comfortable if Josh reposted the vote, I'm
sure he could do that. :-)

More time would be great. I'll still try to finish up some testing by
tomorrow, but I can't make any guarantees.

If people want some extra time given the impact of snow, please inform.
I'm
ok with extending this a few days if it means people will give it more
love.
