This attitude is not helpful. Furthermore, the arbcom doesn't really
have jurisdiction over deletion process or any form of policy, IIRC --
Jimbo only delegated his judicial powers to it.
That beiing so, I'd gently suggest that the Foundation *must* get
involved in this. Deletion is a mess and the various deletion-related
forums have become a law unto themselves. We can't do anything,
arbcom is scared to do so, and so outside action is required.
