Consensus is not the same as unanimity, and anyone
who's crossed a few
different Wikimedia projects will know that what is defined as consensus
varies pretty widely, from majority +1 to 80% or higher support. For the
purposes of board votes, it's majority +1.
I disagree with this interpretation.
The major point is "what are the reasons for the dissent?"

I'm actually quite pleased that the board has
moved away from twisting
itself in knots trying to ensure unanimous support of proposals: it led to
watered-down, poorly structured decisions that have often left the
community confused and uncertain as to their intent.

Speaking in my personal capacity, I echo the surprise
that the Board has
decided to move a motion before they had full or close to full consensus on
the issue - which is in general a departure from the usual.
Well, it seems we have two very different ideas here.
