Adrian: Yes, very true. After monitoring these discussions I've come to
agree that unanimous voting is not as good an idea as it appears. A
super majority in many situations should be required though. I also like
the idea of building a list of things that don't require a super-majority
to be decided as opposed to a list of the things that do. This way if we
miss something it won't create big problems.
