I disagree (as stated before) and I look forward to your arguments
supporting this assertion.
Because "necessary" might mean extensive, which I say is no permitted by

the consensus has to be there already, and editorial changes (agreed
upon) can be done. not bigger changes. Trust me.

Has anybody done that, until now?

I believe some were raised and not yet addressed.
