Evidently a lot of editors have invested a lot of time since then.
Brandt should make a list of complaints he has about the current
version. And again, I think he should be permitted to post these
complaints to the talk page of the article (not necessarily to edit
anything else). OTRS is an easy way to contact us, but it doesn't
become part of the public record in the same way talk pages do.

It's been semi-protected for a while, no? IMHO it can stay that way
until we can set it to "show last reviewed version".
