Not only did he assent, but he said MULTIPLE TIMES in multiple
messages that he had decided to wait until 6.0.  I think he even
asked people to stop complaining because he had agreed to wait.

I heard no objections to 5A.  People didn't object to 5B, because
they thought 5A pretty much settled the matter.  Particularly
after tjr said "HEY, I've already agreed to wait!".
