Open Stack

Hi Infra,

I vaguely recall a discussion where it was stated that should someone
come up with a better phrase for the -1 text ("I would prefer that you
didn't merge this"), we could change the text to that.

The below suggestion has a few people agreeing with it. Perhaps we could
put in a patch to change the text, and see how it goes?

Regards,


Tom

A bit off topic, but I've never liked this message that gets added
as it think it sounds overly negative. It would better written
as

  "This patch needs further work before it can be merged"

as that gives a positive expectation that the work is still
wanted by the project in general
