Folks, it's not clear this email thread is going
to register at all as
feedback for this process.
The only recognized feedback mechanisms according to the original mail are
the following:
1. Wikimedia Space group -
A dialogue that has been started to discuss the problems of the KPIs and
metrics.
I'd highly suggest if you want to make your feedback count, you go to these
venues.
