I would call it a complete change from five years of getting the encyclopedia written. It bears repetition: the mission is to get the encyclopedia written, the free NPOV encyclopedia. Not to try to gather plaudits from classroom teachers. It's an old discussion here: GFDL means_someone else_ can perfectly well make the fork that is more

I disagree that the goal is to get an encyclopedia written. The goal is to produce an encyclopedia that is as useful as possible to the biggest set of people possible. Taking small steps to make the reference more usable in schools and work-places is consistent with that goal.
Deciding which images might deserve a spoiler warning is no more a violation of NPOV than deciding what fact is important enough to include, or deciding what reference is worthy enough to cite. All of these are judgement calls. We will continue to debate them for as long as the project is editable, no doubt.
