I think following the opinion of Carl Lindberg is the best option [1]: "I
would personally be happy about not having to delete governmental works
which have expired in their own country... those always have felt different
to me than privately-held copyrights."
Hope Fae will support me when I start a mass de-admin request followed
by my self admin request. :)

I can see no point in this discussion. Folks had every opportunity to
give viewpoints during the RFC on Commons in April. No opinion in this
list makes any tangible difference to the existing on-Commons RFC,
on-Commons policies or published U.S. copyright law, even though it
may be a good way of blowing off steam.
GUIDE TO PLACES TO COMPLAIN ON COMMONS AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE:
A. If anyone thinks that the April RFC was unclear as to the process
that administrators should follow, they can create another.[1]
B. If anyone feels that a particular admin is misusing their powers,
then AN/U is a good place to complain, where it might make a
difference or ensure that admin publicly justifies their
actions.[2][3]
C. A useful place to discuss copyright is the noticeboard on Commons
for copyright, the advantage being that the same things do not get
said several times over and where it is possible to correct something
you write after you press 'send'.[4]
D. Become an admin and do it yourself, or de-sysop an admin you feel
has misused their powers, using simple standard processes.[2][5]
