yes, ironically the word choice is to avoid bike shedding, if I said it was the ultimate issue there would be all sorts but but no, this issue, where as if it's the 2nd everyone can have their pet issue be most important and we can reach agreement on it and move forward while tabling the discussion of what is the ultimate issue. Whenever you have one of these bike shed issues in a meeting, do this: Give everyone 5 minutes to say their piece, give everyone an opportunity to ask 2 follow up questions to anyone, and a 2 minute response. Go through everyones opinion, take a vote and move on. Then set a date 1 year in the future to review/change the policy.
