Sorry, your point here is not clear. You don't have obligation to implement something in the editor you (co-)wrote. You haven't had that obligation before either.
Whether or not _I_ have an obligation to implement it personally, if it's popular then there is an obligation for it to be implemented.
Contrary to what you suggest, that obligation has always existed. Plenty of things have been implemented in Potlatch (1 and 2) because the community is using them, not because I personally like them. Some examples: Yahoo imagery, smart behaviour when splitting ways which are part of turn restrictions, multipolygons. I don't use any of them yet I've implemented all three because there is a community consensus behind them.
If this latest schema catches on, there will be an expectation that it is supported in Potlatch, and there will be complaints - directed at me and my co-authors - if it isn't.
Editor support is part of the cost of any new complex proposal. You are not simply sitting here drawing up your ideal data model with no connection to the real world. Actions have consequences, and you need to think about them.
