AIUI, the purpose of not allowing cancellation of the vote at any time is to avoid "it's about to fail so I'll pull it, to avoid the 6 month cooldown before I can resubmit" situations. I'm not sure how big of a concern that is. Personally I'd be fine allowing a cancellation up to the 1 week mark; that gives a bit more time to hear if "I'd vote yes except for this one small issue" is a significant enough constituency that it's worth short-circuiting the process without delaying another release cycle.Okay, I find 1 week to be a reasonable compromise and have just made the change to the RFC. I am treating this change as a major change. Given that the discussion has effectively come to an end, I expect to start the vote shortly after the two weeks have passed. I'll send a separate official Intent to Vote at a later point. Best regards Tim Düsterhus
