No, that is not acceptable to me. Someone who participates in OSM must 
have the willingness to accept what the majority wants, or else they 
should not participate in the first place.

I don't want "provisional" contributions that can be withdrawn at any 
later time. Such would only lead to a "better to delete what others have 
done and re-make it than to build on their work" attitude. Such an 
opt-out clause would mean: We're not a community building something 
together, we're a pot where everyone can temporarily put their personal 
contribution but remove it at any time.
