Stephen, Drop the conspiracy theories. Nothing sinister has happened. You can ask the PMC members themselves. No one is forcing them to remain silent. In fact, I sent an extra memo to them today to encourage anyone who has felt left out or comfortable about the process to speak up. No one has said anything yet. > Given the potential conclusions that one could reached - do you think > that it would be acceptable for the Board of Directors of the Apache > Software Foundation to accept what now appear to be incorrect and > potentially misleading statements by a Chair of a Project Management > Committee? They are not incorrect or misleading. You're spreading FUD and I'm getting tired of it. > I would like to bring you back to my original question concerning the > capacity in which Aaron is acting.

I'll repeat what I mentioned several times already: I brought up the matter with the PMC. We had several responses by PMC members. All were in agreement. Thus a vote would have just delayed the obvious. Since we already had a consensus, we moved forward. No one on the PMC objected to a lack of an official vote. So since the PMC didn't mind, and you're not on the PMC, then I don' understand what the problem is. If you were on the PMC and had wanted a vote, that's a different matter. But you're not. So drop it. If you have serious concerns, go ahead and make a petition to the PMC and cc the Board.
