Yes, you can read the first sentence like that, but not the whole first paragraph, imo.

Sure there was no disagreement. It was _w_e_e_k_e_n_d_. There was no agreement, either. I could also say that no-one came out in support today, so it's community consensus that 5.8.1 happens. Both interpretations are nonsense.
