Oh I missed dates, this is a good point then. Ignoring a wide community consensus is *always* a mistake. Final decisions might even diverge from consensus but *ignoring* is the worst way.

It rarely becomes a problem in practice; the vast majority of decisions made on projects are editorial or internal management.
In this particular case, there is a tiny segment of the editing community making a sweeping UI decision that - by definition - doesn't even affect *them*.
That can't possibly be right.
