In this respect, we saw just one person asking for further significant edits before giving support, while most others seemed to support it in the general sense, and so our call is that there is rough consensus.

So we decided to stick with the process. Perhaps, for the next time, we will try to have more time for the discussion and one more round of editing, but, on the other hand, it's well recognized that we all are busy and tend to mobilize only when very near to deadlines :)

Appreciation, and kudos, for adherence to procedure.

That seems the only likely path to better times.  May it be that we learn from your leadership,

David
