The image (whatver it was -- we will never know) was a
danger to Wikipedia and to Wikimedia itself. The
erasure of one single insignificant image (whatever it
was -- we may never know) is insignificant compared to
the increased security that Wikipedia and Wikimedia
now has, as a result of not hosting that image.
