I disagree. I'd prefer the best decision be made by consensus of the contributors rather than the community at large. The community includes a lot of people with a barely functioning understanding of DNS and no basis in knowledge for making a qualified decision as to if this is a good thing or not.

I know this, because this describes me (and everyone I've met in person who has to deal with DNS) pretty accurately.
