Well, that's sufficient, Chris. There should be no "nice to have" aspect.
The only requirement is that the PMC has the ability to oversee. If we can
streamline that process, great.

The problem is that the PPMC has no standing. I keep telling people to stop
using the term IPMC. It is the Incubator PMC. The terms IPMC and PPMC make
them look somehow equivalent.
Now, because you have 3+ PMC members in the project, those votes have
standing, and suffice so long as the rest of the PMC is aware of and has the
opportunity to exercise oversight. The PMC need not vote unless someone has
a good reason to cast a -1. Again, I'm all for streamlining, as long as it
supports oversight.
