Unless another committer can convince whoever votes -1 to change
his vote, it means that 3.3 will not happen. Instead we will
continue to maintain the 3.x code base based on 3.2.1. That's
how decision making is defined for this project, see

  <http://jakarta.apache.org/site/decisions.html>

Illegal may be to hard, but no one has formally asked for votes
on its release and there's no release plan and no release manager,
all things that we say we should have according to the rules
above.

Same thing.

> What is the difference from voting to stop it?

I guess someone could ask for a vote to stop it instead of a vote
to release it; the rules above only covers votes for doing something,
not stopping something. But I assume the same decision process applies. 
The point is that I feel that decisions about the code base should be 
done by the committers on this list rather than PMC.
