If you happen to know the exact consensus, then feel free to quote it. I
just stated what I recall. And I'm fairly sure nobody explictely wrote
down the consensus. But most of the people seemed to agree on what I wrote.

What you propose (taking all leading zeros into account) is what he have
in SVN now. If that was the consensus, there wouldn't have been noise
still after I committed it.

PS: Keep saying "No, this was not the consensus, go read what it was" is
not helpful at all.
