It isn't entirely clear to me exactly what we are voting on.

* If someone votes +1 (current state is ok) -- that is pretty clear.
* But if someone votes -1 (current state is not ok?) what does that mean
in practice?
- a revert?
- we hold shipping 17 until we get consensus (via some plan or
mitigation or whatever)?
- something else?

In any case, I am a hard -1 against reverting. +0.5 on "current state is
ok", and +1 on "current state is ok with agreement on what to do in 18"
