+1 for the -2 which to my opinion should indicate any serious flaw in
the design, even post the design discussion. I think that this should
follow with a discussion on engine-devel about the required change in
the design instead of debating over the gerrit since it is not
transparent enough.
-2 should be given on rare occasions, as it is so blunt and meaningful.
Remember that -1 is good enough to block a patch.
So if you see an issue which may be fixed, give it -1.
If you see something which is illegal (violate project license) or
contradicts the project foundations, give it -2. This is how rare -2
should be.
In this view I'd rephrase "-2" to: "This patch can not be
accepted".
Obviously this should be followed by a detailed explanation by the reviewer.
