Hi, the time for the vote is over now and after getting enough +1 there is one question left. The standalone jar doesn't have a readme. Jeremias [1] and Niall [2] both mentioned that fact but they came to different conclusions. Jeremias said it isn't a blocker and Niall said because of the missing readme there isn't any disclaimer which is required for incubator releases. I can't find any precise documentation about that.
So the question is: Do I have a problem with my release or not? Is the missing readme/disclaimer a blocker or am I able to declare my vote as passed?
