Hi Tom, Thanks for pointing it out. I meant to say Oct. 17th, Tuesday, for a 72 hours period.
That being said, we need to have a lazy majority to accept a release RC according to our bylaws ( https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Bylaws). And if we cannot achieve that via thorough testing within the period we will automatically extend the voting process.
