Hi,
It was me who used the term 'broad consensus on irc' - and I was
referring to those on irc at a specific time. I actually used it as I
was encouraging Alexandru to bring this to the list specifically so that
all contributors could see it, not just those on irc. So I think
everyone is on the same page here :)
These changes are made in the right spirit, just as the marge-bot
changes that I introduced were also.
Cheers,
Laurence
