There is indeed consensus but there are still people trying to sabotage it.
...?
That's a pretty weird way of looking at it.
There are people who disagrees with the "consensus", which would lead one to believe that there isn't a consensus.
For key members of Core to come out and declare a consensus among the people who mostly agreed anyway, in order to silence the rest, sort of stinks, doesn't it?
At least if it's used the way you used it now.
