<pre wrap=""><!---->From that thread, I think I can conclusively say: if Commons has been
obstructively bureaucratic to the point that an entire chapter (WM-IL)
will no longer work with it ... then Commons has *failed utterly* as a
service project, and will need reining in at the Foundation level.

I'm not much involved in that issue (and don't really want to be), but
when I see ONE user saying "accept all our pictures without
challenging their copyright status or I close a whole Wikimedia
chapter",
I think that maybe the other side of the issue can be considered as
well: maybe that's not only Commons failing to serve anyone willing to
be served.<br>
