also, ideally for any major change the process should be:

at least four admins in agreement, alongside an equal number (give or take) of users - preferably the suggestion is passed to a 'crat for a "review" and the 'crat can make a decision based on what has already been discussed..

a 'crat's decision can be overruled if the community / admins are overwhelming in favor of a change, since a 'crat is not an all-powerful entity but rather one that takes a neutral stance and reads both sides of an argument before giving their say.

this is how I'd like future debating practices to go but as always this is rough and needs approval in itself as I can't make that change alone (actually I could but then I'd have little reason to have ever appointed other admins, let alone other 'crats)
