Best practices for a good consensus are not political games. However dismissing the concerns of long term members of the community that the strategy references in every recommendation, by extremely obvious tone policing, is playing politics and marginalization.
Thanks for referencing my Commons work Aron.

The WMF board and their CEO know it is in their interest to take on any firm community consensus rather than playing political games to get around it.
Political games, like requesting supermajority < https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Requests_for_comment/Partial_bloc...
would be best avoided, indeed.
As others have expressed, I am not in the least bit inclined to give any feedback on meta. It's a waste of volunteer time, as effective as
shouting
out of your office window expecting to make the weather change.

having participated in writing some of these recommendations, I can tell you from personal experience they have been massively shaped by feedback. That included feedback on the talk pages, feedback at events and conferences, feedback from strategy salons organized for that specific purpose, feedback from all kinds of personal conversations... often conflicting feedback, since, unsurprisingly, different people within the movement often have opposing views.
