You have started with a theoretical question that is

software developer and deputy director of the WMF answering this question
with nuance. You can't ask an "open" question and expect/demand a
"closed"
response.
Well. not really. He's asking the same question Greg Maxwell and I
asked last month about the language list defaulting to open rather
than closed: If a wiki voted for it, would that override the usability
team's dictates? That was a straight "yes or no" question, like this
is, and we only got weaseling too.
I asked on internal-l and couldn't get a straight answer there either.
Straight answer, anyone?
