Hi,
Sorry, sent too fast. ;o)
I think I need to explain the whole history of the issue.
1. On 22 February 2014, Alan started the Request for comment (RfC) on
whether we should host URAA-affected files, and restored previously
deleted ones (around 4,300 of them). [1]
2. On 28 February 2014, TeleComNasSprVen proposed a moratorium on
deletion of images under URAA.
3. On 18 March 2014, the initial proposal has received a huge support,
with some people opposing it, including some active admins. On that
date, I made a proposal for a compromise: only allowing a subset of
affected files. This has received only a few comments, and no
opposition. The discussion seems to be stalled around that date.
4. On 24 March 2014, I made a proposal for closuring the RfC as Yes.
This received 21 supports, and one opposition. None of the admins who
initially opposed the RfC cared to add any input. I mentioned that
closure will be done after one week.
5. On 2 April 2014, I close the RfC according to my proposal.
6. On 3 April 2014, Russavia unilaterally reverted my closure, and the
changes I made to the relevant policy pages, without any discussion.
Regards,
Yann

Hi,
Well, it doesn't go so easily. Some Commons admins refuse to accept the
community decision, and want to maintain the status quo inspite of the huge
majority of opinions for supporting this. They are usually the most vocal
and bold admins.
Some admins are supporting it, some are afraid to go against the bolder
ones. Some admins who support it do not take part because of language issue.
Some admins specifically said that they would go against the community, no
matter what. One admin even says that the
The suspense is killing me: What does the admin say?
