Actually, the fact that all the arbitrators were voting unanimously 
until the shitstorm at the talk page, and then proceeded to not closefor 
a number of days, shows a remarkable change in typical response to the 
concerns of the community who stopped by the page.  If they could have 
been clearer regarding what specific evidence they used to come to the 
conclusion, perhaps that's something they should address in the future.

We're not privy to a lot of the discussion they have on their mailing 
list, but I have no doubts in my mind that they discussed this quite a 
bit.  Thus the extra motions, thus the extra time for deliberation. 
Even if the result did not come in a way I favored, I wouldn't be able 
to criticize them for lack of consideration, and I don't think that's fair.

If anything, I hope the 5 new folks who'll come on board show the same care.
