Now, how many of the 20% who wants their name cited would have given the
same response to something like: "Would you be happy to piss everyone off if
your name does not appear in a list of about 100 authors of a Wikipedia

Do we really want to only listen to the opinions of those people
actually willing to make a fuss if they don't get their way? I imagine
most Wikimedians are sufficiently mature to accept it if the majority
disagree with them. (This is assuming only options actually legal
under the license are considered.)
