Hi Eric: So version control helps here, and we tend to refer to outright objection as a veto. So first, it depends on who is 'disliking' the particular change or casting the veto. Typically in the Apache projects, committers (folks elected by the project who have commit privileges) have binding vetoes. We also only allow vetoes on code for technical reasons. Generally the original committer will revert the code if there is a veto. Occasionally the veto is withdrawn after discussion, but vetoes can't be overridden. HTH, --David
