We decided to clarify it slightly differently to make clear the
distinction between forming a view and working with others to get a
consensus.
- * come to view on whether the package should be accepted, either
as-is or with certain modifications
+ * come to a view on whether the package should be accepted, either
as-is or with certain modifications
+ * work with other reviewers to try to achieve a consensus view

Changed as you suggested. It's simpler and means the same thing since
everyone one the libs mailing list is considered as a reviewer.

We decided not to list explicit exceptions on this point but to make
clear the "should" status of all the requirements:
Every package should fulfil the following requirements. Any
requirements that are not met must be clearly explained and
justified in the proposal.
So for a platform-specific package you have to point it out in the
proposal, justify it and have the reviewers agree with you.

Added to the requirements list:
* Be distributed under an acceptable copyright license. See the
interim license policy.
So the changes as a whole are:
