If you're counting numbers and talking about a consensus you are doing
something wrong. A consensus for opt-out would mean there were no
significant objections, or in some contexts no credible objections. I
cannot help you if you believe that people didn't yell loud enough
that to count as a significant objection (and note that one or two
people who really disagree with something can count as a significant
objection for consensus based processes). I believe the bulk
unsolicited mail argument is a credible objection; a reasonable
definition of bulk unsolicited mail has been presented on debian-vote
and an argument that opt-out mails fall under this definition has also
been presented.
