Can somebody summarize the concerns raised in that RfC?
Best regards,

Hi,
there is a famous quote on courage by Winston Churchill, a British Prime
Minister, who once wisely said: "Courage is what it takes to stand up and
speak. Courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen."
Over the weekend, more than 440 editors of the German Wikipedia took part
in an RfC-like process ("Umfragen") at <https://de.wikipedia.org/**
wiki/Wikipedia:Umfragen/**VisualEditor_Opt-in<https://de.wikipedia.org/w…
and voted against the activation of the VisualEditor for anonymous users,
asking the WMF to revert to an opt-in phase instead of the currently
existing opt-out.
This is yet another signal coming from the community that there is
something very broken about the process in which VisualEditor is being
rolled out. Most of the criticism has been ignored so far, but on the other
hand, we haven't yet seen such an enormous community objection against the
VisualEditor anywhere.
Let us therefore use this opportunity, and have the courage to sit down
and listen. Or, perhaps, in the wiki spirit, let's edit this quote, and let
us sit down and talk.
And, together, let's learn a lesson from this, and correct the errors so
that they don't become mistakes.
Tomasz
