Netiher I, nor slaya, made the final decision in this matter. In fact, ev1 was asking wally to make changes. Your issue seems to be with the fact that WaLLy agreed with a proposal that I made, even though if, as you say, you know wally, you'd know that he wouldn't just let someone else arbitrarily decide the settings for a server. In the past, such as with the bc2 server, wally has taken advice from other parties and just acted on them without having a vote. You seemed fine with it then. I think there are way too many details to be taken care of to get this server going to vote on every single change that gets made. If it were like s1 and already extremely successful, of course I would agree that extreme prudence should be exercised in making changes, and so a vote would be held.
So my point was that you seem to be taking issue with where the idea came from for the change, and not that wally made a change without making a vote first. Sorry if I am mistaken.
