For those who are not familiar with the voting procedure, if you have
tested epic4-2.1.1, and have found it to be substantially without defect,
and you're willing to publicly go on the record to say that, you may vote.
*Everyone* who tests epic4-2.1.1 is eligible to vote, no matter who you 
are or what your "qualifications" are.

The voting remains open until the vote reaches 15-0.  This means 15 people
vote Aye, and will have their names put into the VOTES file that will ship 
with epic4-2.2.  

If any proper NO votes are receieved, this is considered a "block" and the 
release will not occur until the problem is fixed, or substantially reasonable
steps have been taken to minimize the problem.  A proper NO vote indicates a
specific, particular, reproducable problem that substantially limits EPIC in
some way (eg, a crash).  An improper NO vote would be along the lines of 
asking for a feature to be added, or disagreeing over whether a feature should
behave the way it does.  I always promise to exercise good faith in trying to
determine if a NO vote is proper.  (Yes, I have gotten improper NO votes in
the past by people who were trying to be difficult, and I've had to ignore 
them.  I don't like to do this, though.)

Right now the vote is 3 votes AYE and 0 votes NO.  The election stands open
until the vote is 15-0.  This will take as long as necessary.  EPIC4-2.0 took
a month to pass the vote.  I wouldn't be suprised if EPIC4-2.2 took that long.
If you've voted, I ask for your patience.  If you've not voted, then test it
and vote!
