" does not face serious opposition by the majority "
that's not an appropriate rule for policy, it should be
"not face serious opposition for a substantial minority",
or, more accurately, "when all but a few of the established editors
involved are at least willing to live with it"
I've seen people give various figures for the size of the necessary
supermajority, but it should be more a matter of tolerance than a
poll.

The key problem is people are sick and tired of the
deletionists-inclusionsist war. It has been going on for about 5 years
now. A lot of people are "avoiding the drama" till the dust could settle.
Dust has a hard time settling in the midst of a hurricane.
