Not quite sure what you're shouting about, Gerard. The amendment clearly
gives individual projects the right to have an alternative to this
particular section of the terms of use, and that alternative can be either
more strict or less strict. Seems Commons is considering an alternative
that is very much less strict.
If your point is that terms of use that are specifically intended for one
or a small number of projects, and that are extremely unlikely to be
enforced on most projects, should be addressed on a project-by-project
basis, I tend to agree with you; however, it seems that since the primary
target project couldn't come to consensus on a policy, everyone else gets
stuck with one designed for enwiki.

Hoi,
WOW,
CAN SOMEONE WHO HAS THE AUTHORITY TO DO SO CLARIFY IF THIS WILL GET A
HEARING?
Either it is something that should apply to all projects and consequently
it is a board issue or it is en.wp only. When it is en.wp only, the policy
is either not carefully thought through or it should not be a board issue
in the first place.\
The time to reconsider the application from a project level did come and
has gone REALLY
Thanks,

There is a proposal on Wikimedia Commons that aims to opt-out that
project
from the amendment, given the huge differences
between Commons and the
English Wikipedia, at which the amendment was targeted.
