I think that's a very good thing.  If we work by consensus, then the
first thing we have to acknowledge is that there is no consensual
definition of consensus, although there is general satisfaction that
Wikipedia usually makes decisions that everybody can live with.  The
latter is termed "rough consensus" and, as an expression of the
reasonableness and tolerance of Wikpiedians, is what keeps Wikipedia
from breaking.
