Veto vs no was: Re: CFV: New Project: JDK 9

[Mario Torre]

(Changed subject to not pollute the voting thread)

But "veto" is something different, is meant to block the election.

You need the majority of "no" to reject the voting, but only one "veto" is
enough (although our veto here need to be justified and discussed, etc...).

Anyway, this is mostly academical in this case, why anyone would ever want
to reject the JDK 9 project :)

Nevertheless, I propose to amend the bylaws for correctness (to be in
effect for next voting of course) adding "no" as an option.

Cheers,
Mario
