Randy,
As much as I like to see this policy change implemented and as much as I disagree with Geza, technically if someone is opposing (and I think all would agree that it was not trolling), then that is technically not an consensus. you may find http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consensus_decision-making, especially the section on "Decision rules," usefully confusing.
Ok, you got me. It was late and my statemant was, as you pointed out, flawed. I'll have another try to get up a proper justification for my point: I'd like to point on the introduction of this article: "Consensus is defined [...] as, first, general agreement, and second, group solidarity of belief or sentiment." General agreement is established by these rules you refered to. However, "group solidarity of belief or sentiment" in my opinion isn't that easy. I personally am not sure wether we have "group solidarity of belief or sentiment" here, and I don't think we can declare it without Geza agreeing. To be clear here: that does not meen that Geza must agree on the proposal or withdraw his objections. I only ask wether he considers the groups belief and sentiment on accepting the proposal solidary. Immo
