Does the Manual Of Style need updating to reflect

Wikipedia generally puts out the idea that it is not static.
Uh, I think we're a long way short of consensus that we want to
capitalise section headings. The Manual of Style is by definition
prescriptive. Making big changes to it should be a last resort
approached with caution.

When was there consensus to ensure every article uses the non-capitalised
section headings style?
Certainly I seem to remember both being allowed - the theory being to stick
with whatever style the article was begun with - like the US English vs.
English approach.
