Well, I'm not sure that anyone else here agreed with me on that, and
one person does not a consensus make no matter who it is. The basic
problem here is that we don't seem to have even two people here who
agree on how this ought to be done. The basic dynamic here seems to
be you asking for changes and Abhijit making them but without any real
confidence, and I don't feel good about that. I'm willing to defer to
an emerging consensus here when there is one, but what Abhijit likes
best is not a consensus, and neither is what you like, and neither is
what I like. What we need is some people agreeing with each other.
