For me the difference between
+1 "I agree"
and
+0 "I don't care"
is relevant.
Especially if you're fixing a problem, but your solution isn't 100%
perfect, it's interesting to know if people are daily annoyed by this
problem or don't care.
If you see many +1's, there might be even just cause to ignore a single
-1 :)

I would even go further and say that if it's not a vote, a +1 or "I
agree" by themselves don't really add to the conversation. In general,
no response means either "I agree" or "I don't care enough to respond,
so do what you want". If a proposal or discussion item is put forward,
it's normally safe to assume that unless someone speaks up, people are
ok with it. So at a minimum for non-vote items, I would prefer "I agree
because...", or "I disagree because...".

It bugs me that every time I see a +1 in a normal conversation I find
myself crawling back up the mail thread to check if I missed a vote call
somewhere. I suspect it is common usus in apache land or maybe just an
established habit, but I think it's a bad habit and potentially
confusing as it's often not clear what the +1 refers to.
Isn't it reasonable to expect that people use proper language like a
simple 'Yes' or 'I agree' if they just want to express their support for
a point or statement, and to reserve numerical expressions for formal
vote threads?
