Indeed, but the discussion always died down after a while, and nobody
did everything necessary to make it an actual policy change.  

I think one of the reasons for that was that the RIPE policy process
just wasn't formal enough, to say "*this* is the timeline, we make
a decision *now*" - which should be easier now, with the new formalized
policy process.

OTOH...

... I am not sure whether I can see any sort of consensus yet.  We have
very loud voices that oppose the change, other voices want much more
than that, and a number of people agree with it.  If I do some sort of
"averaging", the "average opionion" from this could be "yes, go for it", 
but basically it comes down to "what's our definition of consensus" now.
