This conversation started in the middle of the Christmas break following which I suspect many staff took extended holidays, most departments are in the middle annual planning and this week WMF are gathering for their annual all hands meetings. So lets firtst consider the fact that senior legal staff have a lot on their plate.
This problem has been discussed before and reviewed by legal as acceptable. A subsequent review is clearly going to be a low priority task as I am sure you can understand Pine.
Making threats to handle ones demand and only in a manner that is acceptable to you is hardly going to make staff receptive to expediting your request. Lets give the good people time, afford them patience on our behalf and let them do their jobs.

FYI for those on WIkimedia-l who may be interested, conversation about this matter is ongoing. I am waiting a response from WMF Legal, and there may be others who have opened their own lines of inquiry.
If I don't receive a reply from WMF Legal that I feel is satisfactory, or if I don't receive one at all, then I plan to set up an RfC about this matter.

I'm scared of the solutions that will "fix" this. I expect something as dramatically useful as the removal of "unblock this IP" button for IPs caught by autoblocks of registered users.
