wording question

[Eric Rostetter <rostetter mail utexas edu>]

In the Fedora Legacy docs, we use the terms "Consensus" and "Veto" which 
maybe are not the best way to do things.

Consensus seeks that all or the vast majority of the participants be "for"
a position.  Veto means that something can be rejected without cause or
reason.

Instead, it might be suggested we switch to a system of "Consent" in which
we don't need everyone to agree on something, but rather just that no one
is against it.  In order for it not to pass, anyone who is against it must
be supported by a valid argument for their position.

In other words, instead of requiring mass support, we just need to lack of
opposition.  And in order to oppose it, the opposition must provide a
valid argument against it.

Thoughts?
