I'm a TAB member but I'm speaking for myself and not on behalf of the TAB.

I rather keep it as is and not move it to a simple majority. If the TAB is
going to make a decision that may affect the ability of a developer to get
their work done, the issue had better be substantial where it should have no
problem getting to 75%. Ideally, it should even be unanimous, but there are
cases where a member may be involved, and decides to abstain.
