Most of the "Restore" votes on the DRV were made not because they thought the board should exist, but because it was out-of-process and that full discussion had not taken place.
There is no reason why discussion should not take place BEFORE restoring the board: if the result is an endorsement of the board then restoration would be a snip and if not then the deletion stands.
There are very good reasons why the board should remain deleted pending such discussion, and I fail to understand those whose apparent stance is "yes, well, it SHOULD be deleted...but we need to argue about it for days beforehand". People seem to have trouble understanding that we are working on an encyclopædia, not a discussion shop or a social website.
