That's definitely something I agree with, but as I've said in various
threads, there needs to be a common agreement as to the limit of when
something is sufficiently controversial as to require an abandonment of
being bold on that topic to allow consensus to work itself out.
Uncontroversial things should just happen. Controversial ones need time to
get hashed out, or the ensuing debate starts out on harsh terms pretty much
automatically.
