Keeping score isn't a good way to think about this. There are people who aren't
yet decided on the issue and are mute (myself included there) as well as the
vast majority of DD's who I'd bet are not even aware of the issue. This sort
of declaration of consensus despite a lack of clarity grounded in the DFSG is
exactly what's caused so much ire within the rest of the project towards this
list.
