[VOTE FAILED] Release XmlSchema 1.4.4

[Benson Margulies <bi...@apache.org>]

Folks,

According to procedure, the vote to release XmlSchema 1.4.4 has
failed, since it received no votes at all, let alone the necessary 3.

Before I go and delete the tag and revert the release notes and such,
I thought I'd send one more reminder. If Glen or others want this
release, perhaps you could rustle up a few voters?

Fady,

The vote system is standard across the ASF. For legal reasons, I, as
release manager, cannot push a release to the official Apache servers
unless the Project Management Committee has authorized me to do so, As
far as I know, that absolutely requires some positive evidence of
approval. I can't just put up a message saying, 'continued silence
will lead to a release'.

This vote system is very cryptic for outsiders. I am an XmlSchema user and would love to have 1.4.4 out on time for the next release of my product. Is there a way I can express my support?

Wouldn't a negative vote system be more efficient. I mean, if there are 3 votes against then you don't release?

Sorry for intruding in this debate but I would hate to see your efforts wasted.
