Other(s)?? You mean your unilateral approval of your own work?
You should not commit if you do not have consensus.
There was no strong approval, though I expressed clearly my strong
disapproval. Regrettably, I found your changes added almost nothing and
were in many ways questionable.

So therefore we should accept everything *you* do in case there is a
fight? Perhaps you will agree to accept everything other people do as
well to encourage improvement? I don't really believe you want your
comments to be applied back to you, do you?
There is currently much documentation missing, especially around
Streaming Rep. It would be much better to spend your time adding that
than to contrive fights over changes that people disagreed with.
