Since I was the one who advised Nikita to stick with M5, let me comment on this. I am aware that many projects at Apache increment their build numbers upon failed votes. I just felt there wasn't really any logical justification for it in our case, and we'd be doing it entirely out of puristic reasons.

So I don't think that's a problem for them. And if we are concerned about an outside person who may have downloaded those artifacts, then I don't think that renaming the final set to M6 would make any difference. In both cases someone would get stuck with a signed but unapproved copy of M5. The only remotely possible cause for confusion that I can think of is if an outside person used that temporary Maven repo, and now the M5 artifacts are stuck in his local ~/.m2/repository and they need a manual refresh. Again, I am hoping this won't confuse any of the PMC members. Andrus > On Feb 25, 2017, at 3:58 AM, Aristedes Maniatis <a...@maniatis.org> wrote: > > I agree with Mike.
