Why? (This is a real question, I genuinely don't know.)

To put this in context, this has been discussed since October, and there was 
agreement on how to change it.
Now a PR exists. It is tested. Also, since this fixes urgent breaking changes, 
patches for "venv" is already in Fedora and Ubuntu deadsnakes PPA, and 
virtualenv also supports it. Changing direction now will mean lots of work 
changing and re-testing anything. That's definitely possible, just frustrating, 
but if someone calls to change something again, we risk not making it in 3.11.

How can we ensure the decision won't change again?
How can these discussions be made more effective?
