Historically, this has not been the case, or at least the people whose 'consensus' would be powerful don't participate in the discussion. (As the troll toll change demonstrated, there's really only one person who needs to approve of a change for a change to be made.)
I am curious about the use of 'sense' instead of 'suspect.' My impression is that the trouble is not motivating volunteers to "make the change," the trouble is motivating volunteers to overcome the hurdles to get to the point where they are able to make the change.
Hmm, that's unfortunate and decreases my confidence that this could work out.
Just trying to qualitatively communicate my level of confidence. Suspect might mean ~60% confident where sense might mean ~75%.
My view is actually more that there are certain "gates to be opened". If you open 4/5 gates but the fifth gate is still closed, it won't be enough. Something along those lines. As to your points, they both seem like "gates" to me.
