@Ruslan: how do you justify lumping all the "poll later" votes in with
"oppose"? There is a clear spectrum of *opinions* amongst those who chose that
option; it's not appropriate to unilaterally decide en masse which camp they
should boil down into.  The only justifiable position is to include them with
"neutral", which we customarily ignore for the purposes of determining
percentage support.  

@Mike: This is another of those situations where we are bitten by the
unanswered question "what constitutes consensus?" More specifically, what do
the devs consider a proper consensus.  This proposal has over two to one
support; is that a sufficient consensus? If so, then we can go ahead, if not,
then as you say we need to come back later.  But without knowing how the devs
would react to a consensus like this one, we/I can't know how to proceed. Hence
the bug: let's get a senior dev's conclusion on what's adequate in situations
like these. Closing it without that input wasn't particularly helpful.
