The meaning of the formerly-defined term reverts to whatever it would be if the definition had never existed. In this case, "Unanimity" has a meaning from ordinary English, which I believe now prevails, but that meaning has no numerical aspect.
In this case, I would say that since it became undefined, we are required to use its ordinary English meaning, but if that English meaning doesn't make sense in context (no numerical meaning), a judge would be allowed to fall back on game custom and precedent, i.e. use its old definition.
