That is a myth that you have been perpetuating for several years now, but it's just not true, and quite frankly I'm fed up hearing it. A +1 vote for a GA release is a vote of confidence that the corresponding bits are suitable for GA release, and hence for consumption by "the public". Certainly someone casting such a vote may take into consideration the likelihood, or otherwise, that the release will be supported by the community (although in truth that should have been a topic of discussion before the bits ever came to a vote). However, a +1 vote is *not* an assertion that the voter, specifically, intends to provide such support. -- Martin Cooper
