We still do operate with rough consensus.
Probably only in the sense that some decisions are made by a consensus process, but I'd guess that there's more voting going on than not. The lack of both rough consensus and running code is something I've been wondering about, too. I think that it's probably more possible to do something about the latter than the former. Decision- making when you've got a very large number of people involved and in which there's sometimes radically different interest in the outcome is a very, very difficult problem. On the question of running code, I agree with you in theory but we do have a problem with the timeliness of our documents and I'm not sure that we want to make the process even slower unless we're certain that there's a real problem here that needs to be solved.
