Isn't that what you are doing too?
I'm well aware that I sometimes might have done that now and then --
especially in the phase to get RPM Fusion started, as I got the
impression everyone waited for someone to drive things forward, so I did
when everything seemed stuck.
But I always try to announce things *early* in the process to give
people a chance to influence stuff before I do it. But if I got to far
somewhere: Sorry.
E.g. when you single-handedly decided to ban libdvdcss
Check the archives. It wasn't my decision alone; it was one of the
decisions from the steering committee. In fact it were others that were
against it in the beginning when I was still undecided.
Reverting that decision now is hard. There are contributors that
invested a lot of time in RPM Fusion just on the fact that we don't ship
libdvdcss -- stating to ship it now might kick those people out, which
imho would be a bit unfair.
