@Naba.. wrong thread :)
We have real scenario here now, where we have no consensus on whether we
are allowed or not allowed to override.. Do we vote now? OR do we apply
common sense?
TBH, at this junction we should really just do whatever we believe is
correct. A committer is appointed due to trust, so we should trust that
our committers will do the right thing.
But the same trust that our committers would always do the right thing
has gotten us to this point where we don't trust....
MUCH bigger chicken-and-egg problem.
I motion that we vote on this. I would also like to request all those
AGAINST the override to provide strategies for us to not shoot-ourselves
in the foot. (like Dan said)

Just out of curiosity, why did the PR checks for GEODE-7488 not fail and
allowed it be merged? Is something lacking in our testing?

I think a better way of summarizing this thread so far is that there isn't
really a consensus on this point, opinions seem to be fairly split. This
wasn't a vote, and not everybody who expressed an opinion put a number next
to their opinion or was directly aligned with the statement above.
Maybe folks who think there should not be an override option could propose
a specific process for dealing with issues like what Robert just did and
try to bring the rest of us on board with that?
