The person who decides if a pull request is accepted is a decider and
significantly affects the behavior of the global consensus.  The only
option for someone who doesn't agree is to hard fork.  There is no way
around that and you should just accept that fact and move on.

Impacts, yes, decider, no.  Multiple ACKs are required from developers who will not act if the community will disagree with the change.

The users ultimately choose by deciding which software to download, and that dictates the range of choices available.
