Either way is a recipe for bad blood. "Rough consensus and running code" is a powerful methodology for low-overhead development right up until it means everyone gets all emotional over what a color is named and whether there are too many memorials in something originally designed to be simple and useful. Say what you will about bureaucracy, it at least enforces a certain emotional distance when people are bound by rules and can legitimately say that their refusal is nothing personal.
