I think that if a FESCo member is unsure about a change, that member should 
actually vote -1 and request more documentation. Then the feature can be 
voted on again once that documentation is provided and the situation is 
clarified. And if the situation does not improve in a timely manner, the 
feature should be rejected for good, instead of revoting repeatedly in a 
loop as has been done in at least one case.

Abstaining means "I don't care", not "I feel uncomfortable with this 
change". The latter warrants for a -1 vote.

It looks like there are still some open questions on that systemd-resolved 
feature, as can be seen in the "Summary/Minutes from today's FESCo Meeting 
(2020-05-11)" thread. Surely, those should have been answered BEFORE 
approving (or rejecting) this change.
