Out of curiosity, was this discussed or presented to the community at large before a decision was made?
Hopefully you realize any such discussion would reach a perpetual stalemate, and nothing would ever happen. And then the explicit "lack of consensus" would be used as an argument against any "let's just be bold and try it" maneuvers, even by people a handful of people who would otherwise support such an action. There has to be a word for this phenomenon, but I can't find it at the moment.
