I think it's up to everyone playing............take a vote if you can't all agree. We play winter rules after the fairways have been aireated (spelling) also. My Brother and I are heading to Kentucky for golf this weekend, and the course has Bermuda fairways, which are dormant at this time of year and brown. We will probably play Winter rules this weekend because of this. It's just up to the group to decide. Shouldn't be penalized when it's in rough shape for hitting the fairway, IMO.
