In BIP99 I used the term "uncontroversial", but I'm happy to change it to something else if that helps us moving away from consistently using the same term for two related but very different concepts. "nearly universal acceptance", "ecosystem-harmonious"...seriously, almost anything would be better than keep overloading "consensus"...
