Indeed -- I think we've already had a discussion whose size is massively
disproportional to the impact of the topic.  Paul, is there a point
where you accept the consensus?

If you disagree what the consensus is / how it is formed -- maybe you
could elaborate on how that works exactly?  I'm in particular anxious to
see a response & clarification on your previous statement of "The call
doesn't decide the consensus."

+1, this backlog is a huge problem, where "huge" is defined as
"endangering the future of the entire Quagga project."
