Not being a native speaker, I'm not sure if that last email
sounded unduly harsh. As a (possibly unneeded) clarification, I meant to
indicate that a wikis community in general (and en-wiki in particular) may
not, and will not in some cases, gladly welcome a change without a chance
to look at it and take it around the block (or actually as Brad indicates,
sometimes even with that chance), not take a position on the desirability
of this situation: I can understand both perspectives quite well.
