Wow,

So that was a short voting period...

I"m not sure which voting system was applied here:

If we use Apache style voting, then vetos override all other votes, and a minimum of 3 +1 votes are required, which means:

1 - 3 veto votes
2 - 2 +1's and one veto, which over rules the 2 +1's (there also were only 2 +1's and not the minimum of 3) 3 - 1 +1 and two vetos, which over rule the +1 (there was only 1 +1 and not the minimum of 3)
4 - 2 +1 votes and no vetos, but still not the minimum of 3.

So an inconclusive vote.

If we are using the approval voting method describing in the Fogel book (<http://producingoss.com/html-chunk/consensus- democracy.html#voting>), then I'd interpret the results this way by tossing out all -1's, leaving:

1. 0
2. 2
3. 1
4. 2

Which makes 4 the winner.



However, more IRC discussion followed, and it seems like the option we
can all live with even though nobody really likes it is 3):

3) Make developer and end user releases identical (except for the fact
that one has debug binaries and one optimized).

That leaves me mystified by the adoption of 3 (although I am not actually against it).
