You have started with a theoretical question that is complex and interesting

received a very thorough and well reasoned answer from both the head software developer and deputy director of the WMF answering this question with nuance. You can't ask an "open" question and expect/demand a "closed" response.
Well. not really. He's asking the same question Greg Maxwell and I asked last month about the language list defaulting to open rather than closed: If a wiki voted for it, would that override the usability team's dictates? That was a straight "yes or no" question, like this is, and we only got weaseling too.
I asked on internal-l and couldn't get a straight answer there either.
Straight answer, anyone?
