Maybe, but that wouldn't have solved the actual problem. Which is, a selected
group taking decisions about major issues without the endorsement of the
project.

Please would you (all) stop referring to these imaginary "uncompromising
zealots" arguing imaginary things that I don't recall even reading in this

The only zealots here are those who want to impose their view on the rest of

scheduled. Whatever we decide now, it will be by consensus.
