The community does everything through discussion and consensus.  Does that 
include branching, or not?

If there is no consensus, a vote is held.  Whether or not you consider the vote 
from 2018 still valid, you still need to seek the consent of the community for 
your action today.  Or is that not sacrosanct anymore?
