There has. I was surprised a consensus on a specific change emerged. My 
thanks to the steering committee members who added valuably to the 
discussion.

In the sense that nobody has objected to the current version as currently 
written, then yes. Lack of objection is probably agreement that the 
proposed text isn't terrible. Ronald came in with quite detailed feedback 
on the first draft and I adjusted the text to match his comments, he has 
not come back on the changes, so I guess he doesn't hate the current 
version.

There have been a number of statements wanting more change to the process, 
but there is not consensus on that, people want different things in 
different forms.

I do feel some concern that after this change that there could be a highly 
dispiriting outcome where library authors ask repeatedly for endorsements 
for review, but everybody ignores their request rather than saying what is 
wrong with their submission. I could see this happening with extremely 
niche but very nicely made libraries for example. But we'll cross that 
bridge if it occurs, best not to worry about ifs until they happen.
