Since when is it immature to think for oneself?
What's mature about doing something simply because someone else won't? In what way is that thinking for yourself? As said before, some people are so obsessed with getting one over on "the man" that they are brazenly insisting on a policy of "include until we get the takedown notice" which is a complete reversal of the correct approach, which is not to include controversial content until there is consensus to include it.

I think that it is simplistic to characterize es's decision as a pure knee jerk reaction against en. I took their stance as "Well, we believe that we should include the key as a repository of knowledge, and the wikipedia that normally includes everything is falling down on the job, so it's up to us to have it." While this may not jive with your views on the matter, it is a valid and reasonable idea, and should not be dismissed on grounds of immaturity.
