All expressed opinions have always been taken into account.

However, "I don't like that" or "I hereby here declare against this "Decisions" and will act against them." without explanations are not expressed opinions, they are just flamebait statements with nothing to act on.

If you have points where you are against, you can explain why.
Any "I'm against" will just be discarded, because this is not actionable by anyone  and solves no problem whatsoever.

It's exactly like you complain when people reject your patches because "I don't like the patch", without more explanations.
