I think that's taking too many steps at once. We should first check what exactly is being proposed and how this would influence the projects, the Foundation and maybe other related groups. Only when we find that indeed there is a large negative impact either on the projects themselves or on the Foundation's possibilities of hosting and supporting them, are drastic methods of protest a good idea. And only at that point it could be decided that turning some site on black would be the best definition of 'drastic method' for the case.
