I don't really see the need for a 2/3 majority for a minor enhancement like this. If only 25% of the userbase need a feature it will be reimplemented over and over again by those 25% which isn't very productive. I understand that the API shouldn't be bloated unnecessary but trace-support doesn't add a lot of bloat at all and is significant for quite some people.
Our current rules require lazy consensus meaning that a single veto, i.e. a -1 vote, can block the proposed change. Those are the existing and prevalent rules at Apache. We should not simply dismiss the rules out of convenience.
Now, given that most people voted in favor of the change and no one except me against the change, I hereby alter my vote to 0 in order to accommodate both the existing rules and the wishes of the majority.
Thus we have, three +1 votes (counting Paul's vote as +1) and three 0 votes (counting Jim's vote). Note that Mark has not voted yet.
Let's wait until Wednesday to close the ballot.
Cheerio.
