Now we are getting nit-picky. This page lists three categories;
procedural, code modification and package releases. Quite frankly, I
don't think this vote has much to do with any of these because:
a) procedural to me is a process - such as switching from ant to maven.
One could argue from a warped point of view that changing a dependency
fits in this category.
b) code modification - no code is actually being modified by changing a
dependency. (At least yet).
c) package releases - well, it is pretty obvious that this doesn't fit.
So to be honest, I think this is something the PMC has to decide which
process to follow.
Having said that, I'd probably lean toward the more restrictive view
just to be fair.

Which is the case, quoting http://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html:
"Votes on Code Modification
For code-modification votes, +1 votes are in favour of the proposal,
but -1 votes are vetos and kill the proposal dead until all vetoers
withdraw their -1 votes."
