> I appreciate that ISO/IEC tries to provide some definifion of consensus, but it's so vague that is borderline useless.

Is it though?

I mean, in what world does the concept of consensus means it's ok to ignore all opposing remakes, criticism, and objections?

You have a proposal for the C++ standard which representatives from companies such as Microsoft rejected after describing it as being unimplementable, and knowing this it's supposed to be fine to push forward with it?

What was the plan here? Are these guys so out of touch that they thought petty political chicanery would compensate all the technical problems?
