I don't think anybody has a particularly rigorous working
definition of "rough consensus" and it leaves the door open
for this sort of disagreement.
I also think that institutional navel-gazing around this stuff has
repeatedly proven to be fruitless and that maybe people who are
calling consensus should probably talk amongst themselves about
what they mean by "consensus" and how it differs from voting.
Omphaloskepsis aside, I've been thinking about writing an I-D on the
meaning of consensus, although I somehow doubt we'd be able to get
consensus on the topic...
