It appears to me that we have a consensus here on using a majority system with a 3/4 supermajority. I'd like to establish the existence of this consensus with a minimum of fuss, and begin to stop wasting everyone's time. Our goal here is to achieve consensus, not to hold votes. So, I'm going to treat this as a lazy consensus issues. I'm going to watch this thread for an additional 72 hours. If anyone objects to this consensus, send along a brief summary of your objection with a -1. If there are, in fact, substantive objections, I'll organize a separate vote process to resolve this. Please do not debate objections here, we'll do that later if we have to. Everyone's had a fair opportunity to state their opinion, so the only thing we're doing now is ensuring that no one is harboring a serious objection that I have somehow overlooked. Acquiescing in this process does not prejudice the discussion of changing the PMC.
