As I stated in my response, although the WMF failed to predict that this would be a hot issue, I predicted it clearly in February, and so did another longtime community member.

Wow, Pete. You predict something will be rejected by the community, and identify a list of concerns. Several months later, you apply the code that applies a community "rejection". This brings the term "self-fulfilling prophecy" to a whole new level. Just wow.
