You're quite right. A "-1" is not a veto on a release vote. (It is on any other vote.) https://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html I would still say that many people, especially those new to ASF, feel that a "-1" is a veto (and receive it harshly). As Incubator VP people do respect you, and comments on how we expect releases to be fixed (or improved for next time) i believe would be received better without the "-1", even if technically you are correct (and you are providing the feedback on ASF voting actually works). > > This would add some burden to the Incubator. > > I doubt the board will allow the incubator to do this, if you see an > issue at a TLP you can alway ask them to fix it al well. My suggestion/thought-bubble wasn't the burden being the responsibility in getting graduate projects in fixing their violations, but only in surveying the precedence and extent of violations among ASF projects. regards, Mick --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
