[sakai2-tcc] ROLL CALL VOTE: override objections to retaining Hybrid patches in Login and Providers

[Jean-Francois Leveque]

I'm not voting because I didn't have time to review the code again 
before or during the vote.

Can one who has voted YES confirm it has improved on the points I've 
highlighted before?
