Yes, there is pressure, but we are dragging our feet.

No, instead, we're going to have a months-long runup to a mediation process, a months-long mediation process, a months-long runup to an arbitration process, a months-long arbitration process, and then maybe, just maybe, somebody will, someday when they get around to it, propose banning.

I thought we were going to have somewhat unofficial mediation, which is just talking, and then we go through the old banning procedures if we felt we needed to. The goal of this is to prevent banning, not delay it, but if needed (eg. if there's lots of active vandalization, not just an edit conflict), there might be a ban instead of mediation.

One thing that will require to be watched with attention will be "how many people will be in effect banned in the next weeks".
Whether what we will gain in efficiency, we won't lose it in openness.
And the amount of pressure which will be applied on both committee, to ban people as soon as possible.
