consensus with regard to your statement regarding the mediation this would appear to be a situation of a few editors dissenting with a large consensus am i correct about that i think it's about right but does need to be qualified some editors like matt britt and seraphimblade still do strongly support the binary prefixes but to their credit never edit warred over them there was however an emerging consensus to allow the use of parenthetical disambiguation alongside legacy prefixes as opposed to replacing them with binary prefixes i'm convinced a workable solution can be devised if the edit warring stops in my opinion sarenne's role in all this has been highly counterproductive though i am also guilty to an extent for participating in an ongoing edit war crotalus
