With the way our system here works, you don't need to oppose to stop a request. A neutral can be just as effective, since 20/25 supporting votes are required for anything to happen. If everyone goes neutral, and the candidate does not get that many votes, then it is unsuccessful. "We have too many" is perfectly acceptable reason for going neutral, even if it isn't okay for an oppose.
