I wouldn't bet on that
No offense intended, but I'm curious: do you do any software development?
The case was the wikia case with the CIA replacing wikia. How close would we be prepared to let WMF people get to the CIA. In theory as long as the people in question don't have direct access to the WMF servers there can't be any issues but that is somewhat questionable.
Personally I would see no problem with any degree of association between Wikimedia and the CIA, as long as it didn't compromise transparency or anything. Then again, I'm a neocon and have no objections to the CIA whatsoever. I'm not sure if the CIA was meant to be an example of an indisputably evil organization, because it doesn't work for me.
