Perhaps you should look at this less confrontationally. The vote
is a non-binding recommendation, it is an information gathering vote
where people provide feedback to the release team; by voting for the
option that best suits their development plans.
Based on the outcome, the release team can come to an *informed*
decision. By objecting to the vote, you might be making the tasks of
the release team harder, by denying them information from the project
at large.
