Can you elaborate? Do you mean something like "having a small amount of
options means the collective understanding of the topic is good enough
to split the community into well defined groups"?
An ideal GR has two options, the consensus opinion and NOTA, and the
vote is the formal step that recognizes that there is a consensus and
makes that an official project position.
If we have multiple groups, then there is no consensus, and the choices
are to either work together, or force a decision that creates "winners"
and "losers."
In decreasing order of desirability:
1. consensus
2. working together
3. deciding vote
4. general unhappiness with the status quo
We are at 3 because 1 and 2 failed and people believe it is still better
than 4.
