This issue was battlefield since the beginning. If a person goes with
her or his personal agenda despite a long list of arguments against,
that's not about arguments. That's about imposing agenda.

The reason which blocked the process is not any of the arguments, as
similar arguments exist for almost year and half. The reason which
blocked it is political will of German Wikipedians and inability to
implement this filter without indirectly affecting them.

Just because of that it is clear that the current model won't pass.
And Board needs other options, as pushing censorship within the Board
is strong enough to allow them to step back.
