A decision which might be based on a consensus that only he has access 
to determine is a consensus, since the information might flow privately.

I have to add that I would guess that yet more responsibilities that a 
project's leader might have might include providing some degree of 
opacity for certain details, for users, commercial consumers, and 
community-at-large.  I can appreciate that balancing, Marty. :)

In this case there was frank discussion in a fairly public forum, so I 
felt comfortable to share my thoughts, too.  I apologize if I've 
offended anyone with subject matter they were not interested in.

So about that DHCP request packet modification business...  I'd like to 
ask community-wide, has anyone else come across the situation Steven 
Shiau describes, where their server gives gPXE one IP and the 
finally-booted OS another?  It might be good to get a sense of how 
common it is, in order to prioritize work on it.
