No, it's not, that's exactly my point: Consensus is recorded by no objections being raised on the appropriate mailing list (dev@ for public discussions) during a reasonable amount of time. You do *not* vote to "record consensus". Voting is a formal procedure that is either mandated by legal requirements (e.g., for releases) or used when consensus cannot be reached -- and in the latter case, it should not be used because ASF communities do not operate by majority rule. Cos, I expected better from you. :) -- Brane
