Agreed, the -1 is not a veto in the case of a release; i.e. a single -1 does not automatically cancel the release. However -1 votes do count towards the result, and may cause the vote to fail. Also the release manager (RM) is at liberty to cancel a vote even if there are sufficient +1 votes for it to pass. This can happen if a problem is detected which the RM considers serious enough. It's not necessary for existing votes to be changed in order to cancel the vote. > > https://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html#ReleaseVotes > > Releases **may not** be vetoed > > Vladimir
