Note that a simple vote count doesn't necessarily imply a decision. If 15 people decide that it's a good idea to do something, and the 2 people who maintain that code rebut with valid practical reasons why it's impossible or impractical, then the 2 should outweigh the 15, and perhaps propose some kind of alternative to meet their needs. | Note that a simple vote count doesn't necessarily imply a decision.
