Well, I'm not generally a fan of Kelly but this makes an excellent point. My only concern is that having the Foundation get that involved could intertwine the Foundation with the individual projects more than we want. The Foundation is more important than any one editor and we must make sure that it is not liable.
I say so what if it's potentially liable. If the Foundation doesn't step in and do something, it's worthless anyway.
That said, there are lots of ways to separate liability. A separate foundation which leases the domain name and servers from the WMF, for instance.
