You are welcome, and even encouraged, to have a discussion.  The normal life cycle for a bug is that it will get a response and that response can be escalated.  You can also use this mailing list or other venues to have that discussion.

I won't speak for my co-chairs, but until you can identify a clear problem with this change, I will not support the revert request.  By that I mean this change itself, not with your perception of how the process ought to operate.

Feel free to cite this change if you wish to advocate that the process by changed; but the reverse is not true: until the process is changed it is a misuse of the revert procedure to request a change in anticipation of change to the Decision Policy that hasn't happened yet.
