Hi, My vetoes (actually there is no veto in a release vote since this is a majority vote) are grounded on a message Roy Fielding once sent to the Jackrabbit list [1]:
> The problem with doing all of our laundry in public is that the public > often download our unreleased packages even when we tell them not to. > For that reason, most Apache projects increment the patch-level number > each time a new package is produced (releases do not need to be > sequential). Unfortunately I cannot readily find the written rule for this, but this makes perfect sense to me, which is why I would prefer to get a new version number. Which is also why I always choose a new version number for a release vote after I had to cancel a vote.
