The IPMC VOTE to retire Ripple is currently in progress. It was started
about a day and half ago and will run for at least 72 hours.

A vote by the IPMC is definitely required because we need clarity on when a
podling has wrapped up. We can't be having disputes about whether it was
legit to shut down mailing lists, etc.
Personally, I would prefer that we make a PPMC retirement VOTE on the podling
dev list mandatory. It's important that no contributor be left feeling that
they were not informed. (A TLP recently retired to the Attic after holding a
vote on their private list, informing dev and users only after the vote was
complete. I don't think that's the best way to handle things.)
