That's not correct, its not "no -1s" - quoting [2]:

It says "no vetos", not "no -1s"

And as per [0] vetoes only apply to code changes, so that definition
of "consensus approval" cannot IMO apply to anything other than code
changes.

I am very attached to the "vetoes apply only to code changes" rule,
not willing to let that change in any way.

That's just my opinion but I think changing that would be a big
mistake as it allows for deadlocks.

Even though I'm also very attached to paying attention to all -1s,
*from a community point of view*, while recognizing that from a formal
point of view they are not vetoes if it's not about code changes.
