Okay. It just didn't LOOk that way.
I am wondering about this vote though. Why now? and what's the
significance of POI/Jakarta svn access merging? To me it seems the
flattening of svn is of little significance. After a year with the
new structure, I see individual cases where committers have
cross-pollinated (in commons, perhaps) but it hasn't seemed to make a
big impact for many subprojects.

So, then - Martin - why are you calling for a vote? Is there a
pressing need to get access to POI svn? Are there patches being
submitted but not going in? Are you just trying to clean up Jakarta,
make it more definable? Or is there something going on with POI that
we should discuss publically?
+1
There's a reasonable discussion that could be held about the role of
POI and Jakarta. Maybe we should have that discussion instead of
voting on a controversial but practically insignificant issue.

I'd like to see a TLP. Or baring that an exit.

Hey I have an idea! If it doesn't pass this time we can call another
vote right before the next holiday and hope that none of the POI PMC
members are around... Then 3 months later do it again.
-1 (because my votes don't seem to be counted and Henri will make up
backstory for me)
