from the rationales i'm reading here i don't think most supporters of the current version consider this to be a minor tweak but arguendo let's assume they do a reasonable argument could have been made to these editors that as you see a large problem with the proposed edit and as they see negligible benefit they might want to stand aside rather than support the change that's a delicate argument to make and requires a high level of trust among the editors involved i don't see any evidence of that trust here and so i'm not surprised that argument wasn't successful now that we've moved from persuasion to determining where the consensus lies no it is not appropriate to disregard an opinion because an editor considers the edit in question to be minor it is even less appropriate to raise this after several opinions have been posted tc
