[WikiEN-l] Probation Committee

[Carbonite]

I just came across
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Probation_Committee on recent changes
and I'm a bit concerned by it. This page was only created about an hour ago
and already four users have been appointed (by themselves as far as I can
tell) as a board. The page also claims that "The committee is an auxiliary
of the Arbitration Committee." Has the ArbCom sanctioned or even heard of
this committee before? I think the last thing Wikipedia needs at this point
is another committee or more bureaucracy.
