Oh, I'm sure I could; I don't think that was really my point. In the end, what irritates me is not in the end an activity requirement in itself, but the way it was decided, the way it was notified, and the fact that increasingly I get the feeling that Commons wants only users and admins who are committed Commons community members, despite the fact that Commons is a service project primarily intended for the use and convenience of other Wikimedia projects.

All users (constructive ones) are welcome on Commons. Personally I would not vote for someone who did not appear to be relatively active on Commons to become an admin there (that applies to all the projects that I hold rights on). You may see Commons as essentially a "service" project for other Wikis although I have a feeling that others may not see it the same.
I'm intrigued to know how you think individual Wikimedia projects should decide on issues, arrange policies and control aspects? Surely the only real option is within that project among active users of the project?
