Ack! Please don't go. I really don't think the proposers of the 
design principles (whence emanates this particular discussion, 
methinks) really want to achieve consensus through attrition.

I think debates on fundamental principles are likely to be rocky, but 
think of what defections do to the overall process.

The hope is to discover consensus rather than to legislate it.

Hang on a while. I'll bet you a handful of virtual beans that things 
will improve.
