Jimbo shouldn't be blamed for the actions of
CommonsDelinkerBot. For those
particular deletions in which he exercised poor judgment, sure. For
wheel-warring over some of those instances, absolutely. But ultimately, his
actions (as opposed to the actions which were caused by the maintainer of
CommonsDelinkerBot), are easily undone, at least from a technical
standpoint.
As noted, the problem extends beyond the images delinked by the
CommonsDelinker bot.
In fact, I would argue that the bot actually mitigates the damage by
preemptively delinking images via an identifiable account (thereby
making the removals easier to detect and revert).
