Sorry, but this is how Debian has operated since the early days.
If we would constantly call for formal votes all day long, no more
productive work would be done. Everybody had his chance to voice
his opinion.

People often think of research as a form of development -- that it's
about doing exactly what you planned, doing it on time, and doing it
with resources that you said you'd use. But if you're going to do
that, you have to know what you are doing, and if you know what you
are doing, it isn't really research."
