Leif, the Accord paper and CEP-15 has indeed generated a lot of excitement in the community. But please don't misinterpret what vetoes are. Cassandra 4.0 (from RCs) was vetoed four times before it got released, every veto was important and in support of 4.0.0 out and appreciated by all. No one doubted that 4.0.0 wasn't about to come out. The ASF community has a precedence for seeking consensus, and valuing community over code. The latter point is a touchy topic, wide open to different opinions about what constitutes a healthy and inclusive community both in the short and long term. In my opinion, rushing people never helps, bear with us and we will get there and get there together. And I believe we will have some valuable retrospectives from current threads to help us become even better at what we do. kind regards, Mick
