The way I see it, there has been vastly more disruption to Wikipedia
coming from attempts to suppress links to sites than has ever
occurred by the presence of such links.
In the case of WR, I think that there's a case to be made.
"If you want to take Vienna, take Vienna". If you want to block
linking to Wikipedia Review, then block linking *to Wikipedia Review*.
There are many people violently against the "attack sites removal"
concept who would tolerate "site A and B are irredeemably and
inherently useless for reasons X Y and Z, don't link there". I still
haven't seen a good reason we can't have an (Arbcom-named?) blacklist,
kept as small and undisputable as possible...

I suspect the whole issue will be put off until our next election. The current committee seems to not agree even on such a short list or what it would mean.
