With an additional layer of meaning: "No-one seriously pissed
off about it" ie even if not everyone actively agrees with it,
everyone's prepared to live with it.

So that there's clarity in what the decision was, and to
make sure that whoever has to do whatever the decision
was can come back and say "I did what we all wanted"
and no-one can complain about it.
