How it works is that
a) a release cannot be vetoed.
b) a release must have 3 binding +1 votes (which this does already unless Ivan
or Gary were to change their vote)
c) the release manager (in this case me) takes the issues found into
consideration and determines whether a bug is serious enough to warrant redoing
a release.
In this case given that a) this bug apparently is not new, b) it is not a
defect in the release contents (license headers, etc) c) this is a beta release
and d) it is generally better to release often than to postpone I am not
inclined to cancel the release due to this. That said, just like we had a
short release cycle between beta5 and beta6 I see no reason not to figure out
what the fix is and release beta7 in a week if need be.
