YES And thanks, Julien, for catching this. We should not forget that the discussions and consensus finding at the dev-summit, as useful as they are, are informal decisions and in no way comparable to a formal vote. Which is the perfect opportunity to apologize for my needlessly aggressive reaction after Richi emphasized the weight of a dev-summit consensus. What triggered me was the memory of multiple occasions where I made an effort to bring novel and nuanced technical arguments to the table, only to get shot down by “That is not what we decided at the dev summit.” Which is especially painful if it was “decided” at a dev summit where I wasn't even present. > The vote is open for a week (until April 2nd), or until we have 9 ayes or 9 > noes. > Any Prometheus team member is eligible to vote[2]. > > 1: > https://groups.google.com/g/prometheus-developers/c/tSCa4ukhtUw/m/J-j0bSEYCQAJ > 2: https://prometheus.io/governance/ -- Björn Rabenstein [PGP-ID] 0x851C3DA17D748D03 [email] [email protected] -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prometheus Developers" group.
