The concept of "72 hours" is normal for Apache communities to reach decisions. It provides everybody a chance to see the concern/issue/question and respond to it. 72 hours spans weekends, so those in the community that only contribute weekdays can also participate.
The 72 hour rule is a core feature of Apache governance. It is not a "rush" to ask for 72 hours to ask for consensus, but is actually a *provision* of time against taking unilateral immediate action. The 72 hour span has existed at Apache for over 25 years. I am surprised people find it concerning. It is completely normal. -g
