No, merit once gained isn’t lost, but it could be a little embarrassing if a critical issue is found after the release has been made. In that case another release is needed to correct it, it may not be a big deal, but it may cause some users inconvenience. The aim if for each release to be better than the last one. I would recommend that everyone voting does a complete check. Re [DISCUSS] it’s a good idea to have one but it’s not required by ASF policy. Having a discuss thread may just means there’s a few less RC’s and less conversation in the VOTE thread. Thanks, Justin
