The design draft was put up for discussion for months before it became a formal proposal. It was not new. The formal proposal (https://golang.org/issue/43651) got 1784 thumbs up and 123 thumbs down (and ten "confused"). Yes, there were critics. But I think it is fair to say that the proposal has far more supporters than critics. The "no change in consensus" comment refers to the discussion after the proposal was moved to "likely accept" status: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/43651#issuecomment-772744198. After it was marked as "likely accept", there was no change to the consensus that it should be accepted. (Note that the "likely accept" comment got 60 thumbs up and 0 thumbs down (and one "confused").) None of this is anything like the "try" proposal (https://golang.org/issue/32437), which had 318 thumbs up and 794 thumbs down (and 132 "confused").
