Is consensus superficial? No, but it isn't always possible or necessary. In general the maintainer of a module should make the best decision, not the one with the most backing. :-)
Yep, that was my logic. With 42% vs. 47% I decided there really wasn't consensus, and I should make the decision that I felt was best for argparse. If it had been e.g., 20% vs 80%, I would have bent to the will of the masses regardless of what I thought.
