A project lead implies that somehow his/her vote is more important

The idea is to build a community that strives for consensus so that
the need for tie-breaking votes isn't required… If half the community
thinks A and the other B, then there is for sure no consensus.
I know many of the Linux projects use the concept of a group elected tie
break role. This is different to ASF. Jim brings up a good point and the
question is do we want it, or not?
Might be best to remove it, and then if a project wants it they have to
get to the mature phase of the project where they update their voting
rules if they want to add that role.
thoughts?
