The time for a formal decision was too late, the more active developers
informally agreed to try and nobody bothered actually doing so.

So this option has been tried already and failed.

That was the resolution from a few weeks ago, there was no resulting
concentration on the release apart from some non-core developers picking
up on documentation and looking more closely for regressions (definitely
a good idea), so overall, this kind of enforcement does not appear to
enforce a lot.
