VOTE: -1 (binding)
I am voting -1 (binding) on this release candidate due to a critical
git tag version management issue that must be resolved before release
approval. The git repository contains both v2.0.0-rc01 and v2.0.0 tags
pointing to different commits, violating tag immutability principles
essential for Apache releases.

BLOCKING ISSUE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Git Tag Version Management Issue:
Repository contains both v2.0.0-rc01 and v2.0.0 tags pointing to
different commits, violating git tag immutability principles required
for Apache releases.
----------------------------------------------------------------
OTHER FINDINGS
----------------------------------------------------------------
1. Code Quality Issues (LOW severity)
- go vet: 12 violations found (primarily in test files)
- Lock copying issues and unkeyed struct literals
2. Missing VERSION File (MEDIUM severity)
- Build system expects VERSION file, missing from source tarball
- Results in empty version metadata in built binaries
3. Documentation Discoverability (MEDIUM severity)
- Go implementation not prominently featured on official website
- Multi-repository ecosystem requires navigation through README
files
- Related repositories not easily discoverable from
https://seata.apache.org/:
* Seata Website - https://github.com/apache/incubator-seata.github.io
* Seata GoLang - https://github.com/apache/incubator-seata-go
* Seata Samples - https://github.com/apache/incubator-seata-samples
* Seata GoLang Samples -
https://github.com/apache/incubator-seata-go-samples
* Seata K8s - https://github.com/apache/incubator-seata-k8s
* Seata CLI - https://github.com/apache/incubator-seata-ctl
- Note: Seata GoLang Samples repository could potentially be used
for additional release validation/integration testing
4. Timezone-Dependent Unit Test (LOW-MEDIUM severity)
- pkg/util/flagext/day_test.go fails in western timezones
- Passes in China CST/UTC environments
5. License Header Formatting (LOW severity)
- 2 files required cosmetic license header updates (automatically
corrected by make license)
- pkg/datasource/sql/exec/at/update_join_executor.go
- pkg/datasource/sql/exec/at/update_join_executor_test.go
6. Makefile Git Status Issue (LOW severity)
- makefile assumes git repository context, generates harmless error
