At least! :-) Seriously I don't think you can aim for complete consensus,
you will never get it. You need to start out with some form of rationale
which lays down the basic ideas/principles for the new erlang, and explains
the reasons behind them. This is something which, unfortunately, we never
did.

Once this is done it is easier to design and develop the system.
