I don't think that alleged consensus is meaningful, and we should punt
the references to it from our HACKING document and web pages. I don't
even remember when "we" agreed to it, and that document is written from
the viewpoint of a project consisting of a single library, not a project
consisting of several libraries, programs, network protocols, and
on-disk data formats.
(Remember when we had the argument about symlinks and I said, "but our
home page says we'll support versioning of symlinks!" Well, that didn't
fly then, and the same kind of argument shouldn't fly now. An
off-the-cuff decision made at the very beginning of the project isn't a
set-in-stone decision about what we will do now.)
