Indeed. The initial impetus for this headless chicken moment was the
*existence* of the material on Wikimedia Commons, not that it wasn't
adequately classified.
It's already classified. The objection is that people could find it at all.
ICRA/PICS is a distraction. The issue is that we have this stuff at

May I also suggest that doing *ANYTHING* because Fox News says to is
going to play very badly with people outside the US. If you want a
fork, this is the way to get it.
