Hey guys, thanks for those who considered this change. I'm considering the vote as passed, with +1's from Thomas Andraschko, Harald Wellmann, Daniel Cunha, Christian Kaltepoth, Jason Porter, Marcelo Souza Vieira, Rudy De Busscher and Mark Struberg
A +0 was received by Romain Manni-Bucau An unclear vote from Gerhard Petracek (e.g. no +1/+0/-0/-1) I've published the news to our website. Once we wrap up 1.6.0 I'll start a discussion around how/when to move master over to 1.7. John On Thu, Mar 24, 2016 at 10:25 PM John D.
