As I stated in my response, although the WMF failed to predict that this
would be a hot issue, I predicted it clearly in February, and so did
another longtime community member. (If anybody wants to see that other
piece, let me know -- I now have permission to share it, actually an IRC
log, not an email.)

Wow, Pete. You predict something will be rejected by the community, and
identify a list of concerns. Several months later, you apply the code that
applies a community "rejection". This brings the term "self-fulfilling
prophecy" to a whole new level. Just wow.
