You aren't the only person concerned about the *assumption* behind a
shift in the operating model.

I think this is an entirely plausible position to be in, but we should
have some sense of consensus to continue or a sense of structured
limits on this situation.

I personally think the instantiation of a legal entity changed things,
because some people now have statutory obligations in law by virtue of
a role in a structural entity which exists and incurs obligations.

But the principle stands: It's not that we need to take all decisions
all the time by consensus, but a decision to change operating model
like this for these decisions, needs to be consented to (I think)

I also want to say I do not believe anyone (Jay for instance) is
acting in "bad faith" here.  But we're breaking the model: We should
talk about that.
