I can't talk for that minority, of course. However, I can talk for myself:

In such circumstances it is very possible that I'd agree to do something 
to later find out I can't concentrate on the task no matter how hard I try.

I regret it wasn't decided that the people who wanted unlimited edit 
time should make the MOD, after which the unlimited edit time would be 
implemented. They were going to get what they wanted (the unlimited edit 
time), wouldn't that have "given them wings" to do that MOD?
