Be realistic - you can't get anything, be it major or minor, done on enwiki these days without heated debate. So many voices around that at least one will always raise itself in complaint.
I said that the presence of ongoing debate of this nature is not consensus. I did not say that debate precludes consensus, in fact it is crucial to forming it in cases like this. My point was simply that it's not only too early to gauge consensus, but we still don't have any explanation as to why whoever decided that consensus exists made that decision.
You may be in favor of this proposal (and that is perfectly ok with me) but I do not see how you could think consensus has been established.
