In case anybody believes Wikimedia Foundation personnel have entirely
forgotten this issue, please be assured that is not the case.
Speaking for myself, I'm not convinced that taking action on a two year old
RFC at Commons is the most pressing component of this collection of issues
(though I understand and respect that others might feel differently).
I strongly agree with the principle that ignoring a request is far worse
than merely refusing to grant it. But I also feel that there is more
support for that perspective at the WMF these days than there has been
during the past two years. I think it's best if we all keep that
possibility in mind, as we make choices about what issues to bring up
again, and how to present them.

consensus is *always* a mistake. Final decisions might even diverge from
consensus but *ignoring* is the worst way.

That's a good point. I've started a
discussion on Commons' VP about this

Thanks,
