Votes - majority or consensus?

Regarding this apr_time_t 'debate,' are we going to be operating
under majority voting or consensus voting?

The reason I ask is that we seem to be in two separate camps.
I think we can veto each other to death here, if we wanted to.
Dueling vetos would not be productive.

Just a question from the peanut gallery...  -- justin

Questions about the code are always resolved by consensus or lazy
consensus (which clearly does not apply here :).  Majority is only ever
used in managerial issues (as in issues that would fall to the PMC to
decide).
