... actually, at the moment the only reason we are facing this need for 
a tiebreaker is because Poul is being obstructionistic.

If he had good technical reasons for not having the descriptions 
embedded, there would have been rapid consensus and DES would have 
removed them.

Poul is attempting to manipulate core's legendary slothfulness to 
legitmise his actions; you're welcome to decide for yourself how 
reprehensible you feel this is.

What we are most in need of is a mechanism whereby we can convince
developers to continue to operate within the bounds of the
currently-functional consensus system.  At the moment, we have a couple
of rogues outside that are causing us some serious grief.
