Little actual opposition but there are more important things to worry
about. largely a don't care attitude as far as I have been able to
tell.
If we move away from the general community feelings and look at the
issues involved the level of copyvios on en is a problem that prevents
mass moves. Screw ups like this:

are the problem with individual moves.
Until we have a way within the software (ok I can think of a work
around method using bots) to really move images rather than copy and
paste any mass moving project would be a mistake.
