Consensus doesn't require unanimity, but it does require fairly
considering and trying to resolve each objection---which is exactly what
the list records show didn't happen here.

Also, _if_ resolution fails and an objection is overridden by general
agreement, the reasons for overriding it have to be documented.

No, voting is _not_ how IETF is supposed to work. IETF doesn't even have
a membership mechanism, so if voting were allowed then there wouldn't
even be the most basic protection against votes being bought.
