In addition, there's definitely a problem if
projects decide to close
local uploads and redirect everybody to commons and:
1) They don't warn Commons beforehand.
2) At least some of their admins don't apply for adminship on Commons.
We just cannot cope with languages we don't speak.
The whole point is to be a service project. All wikis that don't allow
non-free images were ultimately supposed to use Commons.
If you're saying Commons really can't handle that, then the thing
that's seriously wrong is at the Commons end.
