It does mean "general agreement", so if you don't take universal
literally then for all practical purposes it does mean universal
agreement. This is also the crux: we never formally agreed on
anything, because we cannot deal with the consequence: which is
to unify all knobs. So, the only understanding we reached was that
we have slightly more separatists than we have consolidators. But
as long as we don't unify the usage of the existing knobs, this
topic will be repeated ad nauseam.

Since I'm not going to change the knobs, I cannot force an outcome.
