Re: [VOTE] [CANCEL] Release UIMA SDK 2.7.0 rc7

[Marshall Schor <ms...@schor.com>]

I thought about this, and feel it's better to just keep this as 2.7.0. 

I do agree that the release votes can't by themselves, do great QA - that has to
come from
our processes and JUnit tests, and early adopter testing, where possible.
