You may well be right, but you may well be wrong.  But it's not fair
to ask us to contribute our time, energy, and money to a project that
'may'  have an abusive superuser, ya know?   If the Wikimedia
Foundation  is going to continue to a functional relationship with its
projects, this needs to be resolved with absolute crystal clarify.

Here here.  Jimbo voluntarily resigning his flag would certainly be best.
But one way or the other,  Jimbo's founder flag IS going.  Nothing can
