I agree completely.

Though it is too late for this time, I would be very glad if next time a project is proposed, a more consensual procedure is adopted. And at least possibility to agree on some points, and refuse others.
Yes, we need to develop procedures for this type of thing. We also need to build-in ways to help develop consensus and measure the level of support/dissent. Approval voting would help with that.
I know that in any decision the global community will adopt, there will be some happy and some unhappy people, and this is also why, though we must sometimes rely on voting procedure because of community size, I see voting as a bad choice. In such a vote, with a 50% barrier, that mean a project may be lauched with as much as 49 people very unhappy among 100. I do not see that as a positive move *at all*.
Exactly.
