I'm with John. You should absolutely do something and talk to him(the 'not doing anything' advice is terrible), but don't go into it with the mindset of "he's ruining the team, everything he has done needs to be reversed." As bad as the decision may look to you (and in the story that you've told), Z is a person who I'm sure is acting in what he believes to be the team's best interest. Clearly, you disagree with his opinion here, so I think it would be good to sit down with him and a few other trusted veterans/mentors just to put everyone's cards on the table.
Go into it with an open mind - I don't think he's doing these things with the intent of ruining the team.
Also, don't start with big actions behind his back - this will only make the situation more adversarial and harder to work through as a team.
