So, in other words, if the majority of core members decide they want to

You may be misinterpreting the intent of the RFC.
I don't believe this RFC is aimed at silence productive debate, it is
clearly aimed at limiting the access of what I can only imagine is a
small number of people whose continued involvement would be severely
detrimental the proper functioning of internals.
For example, if one person were to be responsible for between 30% to 40%
of all posts in a given high-volume day, that person would, quite
rightly, be seen as entering the realms of disruptive behaviour in light
of the existing internals guidelines regarding considerate posting, and
they may find themselves prevented from continuing those actions.
Something I think most people would consider entirely reasonable.
