Actually, we decide many things around here by counting votes.

But we also decide things by providing reasons that other people can
engage with intellectually, and I still say you're not really doing
that. You're just saying you like X better than Y, but without really
giving any reason that anybody else can understand and agree with.

Also, the last time you authored a commit to this file was in 2019.
Even if it were last week and even if you were a committer, that
wouldn't give you some kind of maintainer-level control over the file
to prevent other people from doing logical things with it that you
happen not to like.
