You're confusing community members with consumers.
No, FOSS consumers have no say in FOSS projects. At best they can say "I 
disagree for the 
following reasons: ..." and the people who are actually doing the work then 
decide in part 
on those reasons.

As a consumer you have the choice to use another product but no consumer can 
dictate from 
the outside what the developers inside do.

That system is not perfect but it gets stuff done.

If you want to keep SysV, you have to maintain it yourself (or hire someone to 
do it for 
you). Then you can make a CD image yourself in SUSE Studio with SysV as 
default. And since 
that is your project, nobody from the outside has any right to interfere.
