If something is useful or not, shouldn't be the question. Alt least the WMF seams to see it that way, because it is very doubtful that the image filter is useful for the project, for its goals, growth and development.
I would invite the Board to view the movie "Schoolbreak Special: The Day They Came To Arrest The Book". Well - I know it is old and i know that isn't such deep. But in some way it wraps up all the ill logic behind the current discussions. If you have a copy, maybe at your local library, then you should watch it. For everyone else is still Youtube:

So, we are going to have virtually two cloned German Wikipedias, one with image filter extension enabled and other disabled. Not very useful, but it is your choice.
I hope you enable the Semantic MediaWiki extension in the new fork.
Good luck.

Dear Mailinglists,
the cultural homogenous group of Germans tends to discuss in German. So to give you a short update on what is happening:
A White Bag protest movement against the image filter is forming.
And people who talked privately about a fork for some time, start to think and say it loud.
In longer:
