No, I didn't mean that; I meant discussion of Clive's specific proposal.
There had been a lot of discussion around other things, but not about what
Clive said in particular, so I didn't feel like I could judge consensus on
that proposal.

(Which isn't to say that I can judge consensus on other things as well,
but for other reasons.)

That's two people supporting that option.  What does everyone else think
about that?
