I'm just troubled by some of the language used here, and elsewhere, which describes a "fear" of more users. I can't help but wonder how many companies or services would readily welcome a "massive influx of users." How will Wikipedia or Commons succeed if we're afraid growth?
Indeed, kinda of bizarre discussion... in particular for an open movement like our. IMO, the consequence of listening too much a few Commons people who feel themself in a fortress under siege (we have a few of them in all projects). For example, the GLAMwikitoolset is kept away from Commons users based on this kind of closeminded/feared arguments.
Like written later in this thread, we simply need user friendly tool for both users and administrators. But, to get them, you need to experiment the real problems, make bug reports, wait, etc... For a few people, this seems more simple to simply block progresses...
Anyway, braking software development to keep contributor's life complicated and impairing contribution is definitely not a solution.
