Or at least caveating it that you shouldn't (binding) vote based on it? Specifically thinking of http://www.apache.org/legal/release-policy.html#release-approval and the statement - "Before casting +1 binding votes, individuals are REQUIRED to download all signed source code packages onto their own hardware, verify that they meet all requirements of ASF policy on releases as described below, validate all cryptographic signatures, compile as provided, and test the result on their own platform."
