I understood that it was kept *both* at pikiwiki and commons. I now
understand why you considered it so important and didn't stop the bot

I'm following this talk with increasing uncomfortableness. Please tell me: why aren't Pikiwiki users simply strongly encouraged to post their images into Commons directly by themselves? Why this intermediate step?
