   @rbowen I'm a little concerned about the change that Fokko pointed out here. 
 This isn't just a "refactor" as it really is changing the from a consensus 
vote to a majority rule.  That's a significant change that should be called out.
   
   I'm also of the opinion that consensus vote is a good thing.  @potiuk 
pointed out some examples of where bad actors can abuse the consensus model, 
but we shouldn't assume bad intent and allow the board to step in when there is 
abuse (which is true for any scenario where the vote mechanics are being 
abused).
   
   I believe that consensus is a better model than majority rule because the 
latter sets up an antagonistic model where you just need enough votes to "win" 
where as the consensus requires that you work together to arrive at an agreed 
upon path forward.  Majority just results in vote stacking and attempts to 
"control" the project.
   
   Either way, I think this needs to be addressed more publicly as opposed 
quietly changing the documentation.
