Or to be more precise. Either all links (external and interwiki) should be nofollow Or none of them should be. Or we can work on white lists together for both types of links.

Florence, does this mean that such changes should be enacted as policy/mandate of the WMF?
Nope. I was speaking in my own name. It is my view and I share it :-)
More seriously, I can ask the board to make a decision on this if this is considered best. Afaik, the only board member who participated in this specific discussion was Jimbo (it was on one of our internal lists). So I do not really know others positions.
It goes without saying that Jimbo and Michael will have to abstain on any decision on the matter, due to the conflict of interest.
