Hi, copied from http://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html#ReleaseVotes :
... Releases may not be vetoed. ... To my understanding of this text the release manager just needs three +1 votes to release, even if there are -1 votes also. And as i wrote, this was not meant as a veto. I have no problem reverting the vote to -0 if needed to unblock the release. There where many questions on the list in the past, about when (tomahawk) sandbox gets released, and the answer was always the same: never. The new tree is a special problem, it is supposed to replace the existing one, and maybe needs a bit more testing before. I would prefer to release the 1.0.15 now without sandbox and than just replace the tree and release 1.0.16 without any further changes. I we release this tree as sandbox, users needs to use the tcs prefix, if we finally replace the old tree the tcs has no longer a tree component. I know this is in the nature of a sandbox, but i think also the nature of sandbox are no official releases. And again to make it unambiguous: this was NOT a veto vote.
