Honestly, I do want to leave final decisions to Jorge rather than to consensus. However, perhaps I was unfairly neglecting what you and Jorge might want. If you and Jorge both prefer development based on consensus, then I am okay with that too. Otherwise, Jorge is dictator.
I'd rather go with consensus and with forking into alternative variants where there is no single strong consensus, but what's more important is to avoid what Nick Nicholas called the "supplicatory model" of Lojban, where for undocumented aspects of the language, Bob LeChevalier or Robin Powell are treated by some as arbiters of what the undocumented rules are. (It's okay when Jorge is treated as arbiter of what the rules should be, because his rules are always the best ones available.) --And.
