I wouldn't look forward to my government's idea of "consensus," either. U.S. laws are pretty much run by industry these days, too... especially when the public has not weighed in on a subject, nor convinced its leaders that they must listen to the public over the industries.
If consensus could be reached by communities like MR, we could develop something to take to our governments and show them how it will work to everyone's advantage. That's how the public influences laws. But so far, we have proven incapable of doing that, which means that when industry is ready, it will have the laws rewritten to its advantage, and we'll be stuck with it.
