That's unfortunate because our Non-free policy does not actually state this. So I'd say this reading is flawed.
My statement was based on my reading of community consensus, not on any reading of that policy.

And I wish they could stay, but they probably won't.
So it would seem that community consensus is not "very firmly against fair-use content". Wouldn't you.
I re-affirm my impression that it is.
