That seems a bit off-topic for the MediaWiki site, which is about the 
wiki software, and is entirely distinct from the Meta Wikimedia site 
(which is about Wikimedia projects in general).  If you object to 
something on a meta.wikimedia.org page, you should object at 
meta.wikimedia.org, not at mediawiki.org.
