I completely agree and was a bit broadsided by the very notion when I got back 
from my field study. If there is a ratification process, it should be up or 
down on the concept and if a super-majority of Wikipedia versions do not 
ratify by a set date, then the concept isn't ratified (just like an amendment 
to the US Constitution when it is sent to the states for ratification). But 
individual Wikipedia versions should not have the option to opt out (just as 
individual states do not have the option to opt out of an Amendment). 

Wikipedia is one project with many different language versions. Therefore only 
one logo is needed. 

The concept won on a plurality, so let's work on the winning concept to 
improve it so that a majority of Wikipedians can be satisfied with it.
