No thats all fine. The main point is that the decision process is often ignored. Things that have been vetoed get committed and never reverted. Unless people object to your changes I say go for it! Especially when they end up in better state than when you started. This is essentially Lazy consensus. However when people object you need to address their concerns and get them to agree, if that is not possible you need to revert the changes. One thing that must be mentioned though is that people can not object to things that they are not a developer/user for. -- Cheers, Peter Donald Einstein argued that there must be simplified explanations of nature, because God is not capricious or arbitrary.
