It is usual for the [VOTE] thread to be +1, -1, or 0 only. The [DISCUSS] thread is the place to provide details on why you voted a particular way.
If a bug is uncovered in a release candidate (as you have found here), you can cancel the vote since you must fix. There can be other reasons for -1 votes that may be more subjective. In those cases, the vote can go to conclusion.
