And beyond this, I do think we can criticize, vocally so if we really 
care, but unless the content of a project is
1) either totally failing the general mission or
2) so illegal that it is threatening the whole building
we should let it in the hands of the community.

In rare circonstances, the situation was so bad the board made a rather 
drastic decision. For example entirely deleting the french wikiquote in 
the past. But it should stay an exception.
