Consent?

As the change would affect all developers and, as far as I can discern,
also users on the LilyPond user list, it would require broad consent.
Most of the potentially affected persons have not even been notified of
the proposal.

To be honest, I am irritated at what looks like bulldozering through
with a proposal that has the clear implications of removing the current
lead developer from the project eventually, in particular since there
are no other imminent problems it currently purports to solve.  The
proposal arrived today and you want to have it accepted within hours.

I think that this is not a time frame where other developers as well as
users can be expected to make and voice a qualified decision.
