We have been assuming that it is the rule of Apache to cut another RC even if it gets a single -1 vote. >> A majority of +1's over -1's is required, obviously :) Although this seems reasonable, do people on this list believe this to be true according to the Apache rulebook ? In other words, can the podling RM and committers question and contest a -1 vote ? Is there any possibility of vetoing that ? If yes, who can do that in what circumstances ?
