"Miners can do this unilaterally" maybe, if they are a closed group, based
on the 51% rule. But aren't they using full nodes for propagation? In this
sense, anyone can vote by coding.
If and when we need to vote, a pair-wise runoff ("condorcet method") will
find an option that is championed by a

Find a solution that everyone agrees on, or don't.

If you want to let a majority decide about economic policy of a currency, I
