There cannot be community consensus if the developers are unwilling to seriously consider alternate technological solutions to the ones they come up with. That is a key piece of the broken process -- developers of SMW have presented their ideas to the community, but whether or not there was ever consensus (or could have been consensus) has not mattered since the developers were unwilling to give the software serious look. In other words, there has been a chilling effect. Why bother going to as many people as you can for input if that input will make no difference?
