If nobody is forced to do anything then those that are willing to carry things forward can do so. Linux is a simple example of this. Nobody is forced to use Gnome yet there is no consensus on using it. The minority might not like it. But they are not being forced to use it. They can come up with their own GUI or accept it if the majority puts all of the work into Gnome.

Ahem, that is what Gavin and Mike tried to do with BitcoinXT.  But it seeems that "come up with their own implementation" is not allowed in bitcoin space...
