I am glad everybody is on board for the release and voting happily. There is one caveat: you are voting on behalf of the Apache Software Foundation. Unless you actually looked at the release, confirmed everything is ok, the tests run, the build is repeatable, you should not vote +1. As a proposed Committer and PMC member you are expected to perform due diligence.
A +1 vote carries a lot of weight. When I see +1's immediately following a vote request on a release, I don't see due diligence, but an anxious community to get a release out. Martijn
