Only presently available options are available as choices to end this

Five weeks ago you unilaterally chose the following option despite
being warned at the time on dev@apr that it would be vetoed:
[ ] Retain ap_ldap API's in httpd 2.3 mod_ldap, as currently in trunk
(binding mod_ldap to ldap libs)
Calling for a vote 5 weeks later in an attempt to legitimise your
action does not get around the rules of veto, which are "No veto can
be overruled"[1].
This vote is void.

[2] vote thread removing ldap from apr-2.x;

This statement is misleading, I ask that people follow this link to
see for themselves.
This vote thread called for "Abandon apr_ldap_* API's to httpd 2.3
ldap, including required autoconf", not the removal of ldap from apr-
v2.x.
This issue was not brought to the attention of the dev@httpd list, nor
was dev@httpd invited to vote on it, and therefore this vote too is
void.
