Hi, -1 (binding)
To change the guidelines it would be better to propose a vote with actual word changes to the guidelines, but that's not why I'm voting -1. Being the RM and making a release has a legal responsibility. I don't think we should be forcing the RM to be doing anything that has potential legal issues. The incident that this VOTE has arisen from was about changing NOTICE and then making a release without the required PMC oversight and that certainly fits into this (slightly scary) category. This vote as been hastily called and without much discussion and thus possibly without realising it's full implications. While only voting once for several release candidates certainly has an attraction in terms of individual effort, it possibly* ignores the PMCs legal responsibility. I would suggest that people voting +1 think about the above and reconsider their vote. Thanks, Justin * You would need to involve legal-dicuss to know for sure, I'm not a lawyer, but know enough to feel concerned about this.
