That the community reacts the way it does now, is because they care very much about the site and they notice something is terrible going wrong on WMF side and too less is done to fix those problems/issues!

You talk about admin accountability, Svetlana -- but what about accountability for the WMF, when it makes sweeping changes that (among other things) remove any suggestion of an "edit" functionality from "the encyclopedia anyone can edit" from millions and millions of pages?

Surely this issue can be solved by talking without force: if you don't think so, you get force applied to YOU; you started a fight, and lost it. Because you went and did something contradicting user preferences; WMF did not. You'd think it's "better" because it's "unchanged compared to what it was X months ago", and that justifies your thing? No, it does not.
