By using consensus, we +are committed to finding solutions that everyone can live with. It +implies that no decision is made against significant concerns and these +concerns are actively resolved with proposals that work for everyone. A +contributor (which may or may not have commit access) wishing to block a +proposal bears a special responsibility for finding alternatives, +proposing ideas/code or explain the rationale for the status quo to +resolve the deadlock.
