It seems to me that if there is disagreement on fundamental issues (such as whether to be compatible with past versions of the language), and our goal is consensus, there are only a few ways to proceed: 1) Advocates of one side of the argument change their minds. 2) Advocates of one side of the argument leave. 3) We stop work. 4) We proceed over the objections of some, given strong arguments and a rough consensus of a large part of the group. Right now I think we're taking approach #3. I hope at some point we will move on to #4, if we see no signs of #1 or #2 occurring. Regards, Maciej
