this community thinks that its power structures allow to tromp onto other people
I do not think the community thinks that way.
It doesn't think so inherently, but it lacks some useful habits.
Members of the community can make mistake and staff members of WMF can make mistakes, I think that both that community and WMF are grown up enough to correct mistakes if they arise. Certainly inside the community are many critical people who watch these kind of things carefully and do correct those things when a mistake is made.
The German community did collaborate, did communicate. Having a voting is a desperate way of getting the attention of the big problems WMF has too little insight in apparently. The community does not think in power structures, WMF does.
Writing an RFC is a complicated process. You don't ask people whether they want to go backwards, for one; they almost always do, but it is not always a good thing.
