It puts lie to the whole concept of "consensus" if a decision like this can swing permanently one way or the other based on whether it just happens to be made during a week when not a lot of people are paying attention.
Not really. Consensus is a very loose concept. Previous "consensuses" have been struck down on the basis that not enough people were involved (notably, the merger of WP:V, WP:RS etc) It wouldn't be unreasonable to challenge the consensus later on, if indeed not many people were involved.
