In this case the feedback cycle looked like this

Initial draft -- Lots and lots of feedback -- New draft including @headers -- 
More feedback

It's not clear to me why making a decision now before the second "redraft" stage 
of the cycle makes sense. It would make more sense if the editor had made a 
change, people were still unhappy, but felt that they had already presented all 
their arguments. If there is a real need to speed up the redrafing of this 
section, I think it is possible to ask the editor to prioritize it; as far as I 
am aware that has not occurred.
