Hi Michael, It¹s a good question. I think each side of the fence on this issue has their own interpretation. Here¹s the Apache page on voting:
http://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html I think parts of Mike¹s 2nd proposal [1] (what we¹re voting on) include elements that are procedural: * Merging the dev lists into a single list. * Release details will be decided by dev community, but, Lucene may release without Solr. (though I¹m not sure why this is included, b/c it¹s the way that the communities work now?) But others aren¹t: * Merging committers. And these relate directly to code and will effect change: * When any change is committed (to a module that "belongs to" Solr or to Lucene), all tests must pass. * Modulariize the sources: pull things out of Lucene's core (break out query parser, move all core queries & analyzers under their contrib counterparts), pull things out of Solr's core (analyzers, queries). So, there are parts of this proposal that I believe VETO does in fact apply to.
