The other tens of thousands of images uploaded in the mean time. The fact that when people complain about removal of one non free image they point to others and say this hasnt gone yet why should mine go.
Even if it's wasted effort 99% of the time (and I think this is a gross exaggeration), what about at least notifying users who *are* active, like, say, someone who currently serves on the board of the foundation?
How is anyone supposed to remember the usernames of everyone on the foundation and why do they expect to get special treatment? For a while we had some bot assisted notification for some classes of speedy delete; hopefully these will return soon if the bot bureaucracy can be overcome (er, performance improves). This particular deletion is not about this really, it is about communication of changing policies to people.
