Sure, I don't read anyone making these statements though? Let's assume good intent, that "foo should happen" as "my opinion as a member of the community, which is not solely up to me, is that foo should happen". I understand it's possible for a person to make their opinion over-weighted; this whole style of decision making assumes good actors and doesn't optimize against bad ones. Not that it can't happen, just not seeing it here.
I have never seen any vote on a feature list, by a PMC or otherwise. We can do that if really needed I guess. But that also isn't the authoritative process in play here, in contrast. If there's not a more specific subtext or issue here, which is fine to say (on private@ if it's sensitive or something), yes, let's move on in good faith.
