I am trying to parse what you mean by this vote Bill. The vote is on all of the source release, including the -deps tarballs. For the terms of the vote, I will interpret this as a -1 on the entire release. I agree, the root of the problem is the APR project, and they should do a release when they see fit. I don't agree that we can't release a bundled unreleased version of APR, we did this for many versions of httpd 2.0.x and 2.1.x. It definitely isn't preferred, but that's the APR project's problem. Thanks, Paul
