In case of language changes, shouldn't the 2/3 of majority be required at
any levels?

In situations like:

Main feature: No/Yes
Option: A, B or C

My gut feeling is that it would be better to rally a 2/3 majority of people
behind one of:
No / Yes (A) / Yes (B) / Yes (C)
in order to not dilute the importance of language changes.

It would prevent accepting an important change where a lot of people agrees
on a general idea but have strong opinions/arguments on
implementation/details.

Cheers,
Patrick
