I think you're looking at it the wrong way. There is no "forcing." The
doc team works very well together for the most part, and there's a lot
more respect than in many other technical circles, shown on this list.
We already vote demographically, sometimes. In fact, you're doing it in
this post with your "-1 I don't like it", and that's completely fine. We
also have a RFC directory in CVS that barely anyone looks at very often
(I'm guilty).
I look at the proposal system as a way to work ideas into a solution
that the majority (and sure, ideally everyone) can be happy with.
For example, I have a pseudo-proposal that I've been stalling on,
waiting for the RFC system. Philip also has one (that may have already
been adopted.. ?). http://wiki.phpdoc.info/RFC. My Nomenclature
proposal, for example, isn't something I want to work out on my own. I
don't want to say "Here are the rules. Follow them." I want us to come
to a concensus (as you put it) on the best practices. I think we can do
that.
Please don't look at it as "conflict" and "force", but as "problem" and
"possible solution."
