Rather than try to respond to a specific post in this fast moving thread, my belief is that the WMF is likely trying to work directly with members of the Italian Wikipedia community primarily right now rather than keeping up with mailing lists. While I do look forward to seeing some communication on this issue, that community needs to be the focus.
(As an aside, kudos to Milos' rapid response and ability to organize his own local community in support of the concerns of our Italian counterparts.)
