Having been requested by Jimmy to do so, and having seen a fun rumor of a "search engine optimization world championship" contest targeting WP[1], I've gone ahead and switched rel="nofollow" back onto URLs in en.wikipedia.org's article namespace.
Does Jimmy have that authority? Should this have gone through the board? Did it?
You know very well that the board lets Jimbo run wikipedia. If they have a problem with his actions, they can do something about it, but lets face it: for the first half-decade that Jimbo's been in control, he's done a pretty darn good job.
This is just wikilawyering.
