I don't know about doing this. The ASF has reasons for the 72 hr vote and curbing it all the time is not not something I would do. I know I suggested it for a specific vote as an exception however I don't feel comfortable with it as the general case. I don't think this is because of a client or server thing either. Legalities are more important than even if the release is totally broken. I'd rather have a completely broken server/studio release than have a perfect one out without the proper legal files in place or with a bundled LGPL'd jar. Alex
