Re: [cdi-dev] Decision making process in CDI spec
|
I like the majority vote with lazy consensus; however, when the vote has an equilibrium in several +1 and -1, it worths locking a meeting only to talk about it and vote again. Even after this vote number is drawing, the spec leader has the Casting vote.
Giving anyone veto rights sounds very dangerous to me. Ideally, you want to reach full consensus whenever possible but you cannot allow potential blocking by any one person indefinitely.
Personally, I am +1 for simple majority with lazy consensus (for that we have a way to handle commiters who don't partake in vote).
Regards
Matej
