That, and it might be acceptable to start with a consensus based model for accepting PEPs at first. That would help in getting it clearer what we really need going forward (which as several people have stated is more than just deciding on PEPs). That would mean that contentious PEPs would have to wait longer, but that isn’t necessarily a bad idea.
So basically you want to see if we can find consensus on using consensus for PEPs? ;) Or put another way, basically this seems to suggest giving the consensus/voting approach a chance without specifically saying you want to give other proposals on how to model PEPs a chance as well because deciding by consensus is still a governance model.
Personally I would rather say that we are in a language moratorium until we resolve this governance situation and if that means Python 3.8 is a boring release then so be it.
