I dunno... when you have the developer of Joda-Time, the lead developer of PostgreSQL, and a big name from PHP all talking how a fork is required and how all of these attempts to play whack-a-mole on issues--what I guess you are calling "building consensus"?--are just making the matter worse, it seems difficult to claim that no one understands the burden of maintaining a fork... certainly, to pull one person in particular here that I highly respect: I would personally put a lot of trust into Tom Lane to be making a very well informed (and reasonable) decision here.
