I think this would set a very dangerous precedent.  I oppose this.  I
also think it's unfair to be directing all that negative
criticism/energy toward the single team member who dared disapprove this
GCD.  At least I chose to stay silent but shared serious concerns about
this GCD, and I believe there *was* constructive comments from those
critical of it, not just mine here [0], but from others as well, that
had yet to be taken into account into in the final GCD.

About the request for more time to firm up this GCD that is dismissed by
some, I don't think it's unreasonable, given the GCD author had to cut
it a bit short (and I had too, probably others) with a leave in the summer,
putting even more time pressure than the GCD process itself does on this
difficult process.  I had suggested by then to pause (withdraw) the GCD
and continue its discussion in September [1].
