QA 'vote' at the go/no-go meetings

[John Dulaney]

It has been my understanding that anyone from QA that's present (it happened
I was the only one present for F14 final) can cast the vote (which I did, +1).
If I was wrong in this, then maybe F14 shouldn't have shipped?

I do think that having the meeting as a failsafe is a good idea.
