The issue of suspension is just a way to save face or a form of soft landing in other not to look bad in the face of the community. Even here, I have not seen a campaign that is suspended that came back to life rather it would close, then start again when need be. The argument of consensus is something I found lame for them because even the earlier forks that have happened, there were never a full consensus and they all did what they wanted to do and we still have them till date. Whether they live up to expectation or not will be another subject of discussion.
