However my central point that a discussion of something as important as closing one of our most important projects in a way that few know about it remains. The !vote is 42:102. We get more at en:WP on a RFA.
The proposal is almost certainly going to fail, so there is no need to seek wider knowledge of it. If the people proposing it want to let more people know in the hope of getting more votes in favour, then they are welcome to do so (as long as it is done fairly), but I think the general community only needs to step in if it looks like the proposal will pass without adequate discussion, and that's not the case here.
