What is Consensus Building?
Sometimes lazy consensus is not appropriate. In such cases it is necessary to make a proposal to the mailing list and discuss options. There are mechanisms for quickly showing your support or otherwise for a proposal and building consensus amongst the community.
Once there is a consensus people can proceed with the work under the lazy consensus model.
