Maybe we can just vote? Maybe there's a way to automatically count
votes and then we can either move on based on majority, or
reschedule the discussion.

Well, it's hard to suppress discussion like this. If I may offer
a counter-proposal, then the responsible person of an agenda item
should update the wiki table well ahead of time and be prepared to
give an exec summary (pre-written, just paste) at the start of
his/her topic, describing the challenge, the status quo, major
opinions and sketching a way forward. More work for the drivers, but
less work for everyone in total… and faster decisions. Well, at
least this is what happens elsewhere.
