I tend to agree, except for one point I feel fairly strongly about: 
"consensus".

A consensus is, by definition, a result which most (if not all) can live 
with. Not just some majority, not even some supermajority.

Speaking of supermajorities. Assume that Proposal A "ugh-no-AIs-ever" 
wins by 8:3 above Proposal B "allow-AIs" (which itself narrowly wins by 
100:99 above Further Discussion), but gets tossed out because it doesn't 
attain the required 3:1 supermajority (it does attempt to change the 
Social Contract …). If that happens, the result – "allow-AIs" wins – is 
not something I'd call something the "project as a whole" feels, much 
less a consensus.

(I know that this is highly unlikely, esp. given the existence of 
Proposals C, D, E and F …)

The discussion so far was very interesting and did inform my approach to 
the LLM question, but it definitely didn't result in any sort of 
consensus IMHO.
