The current release process docs http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/ 
display/GMOxPMGT/Release+Branching+Process indicate they were subject  
to a vote, so I think a major change also needs a vote.

Please vote on changing to the proposed docs

http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/GMOxPMGT/Proposed+% 
28updated%29+release+process

I've added a note indicating that the idea is for clarifications,  
updates, etc to be fine without a vote.

We'll finish up the vote friday morning March 7.

[ ] +1 these are better
[ ] + 0 I could care less
[ ] -1 not exactly an improvement because....

thanks
