Right, this is exactly my problem. Not everyone likes the status quo, but  
you oppose radically changing the status quo in favor of a more minor  
change and only allow voting on the minor change. The "consensus" might  
end up being that minor change or no change. And then of course a radical  
change introduced later will undermine that "consensus", except consensus  
was never there to begin with.
