Completely agree with you Asaf. I don't think it's up to us Wikimedia-l subscribers, but up to each specific community. We can learn from their decisions but are on difficult ground if "we" judge them for it. Your third paragraph was a bit complex for me to "succinctly reword while agreeing with it", but it's a good starting point. But rather than a "top" list, perhaps we should be looking at "number of editors/number of speakers"?

Are there any Cebuano or Waray community members on the list to offer an opinion?
There is no likely productive outcome of sharing more opinions on the bot issue, even by members of those communities.
The point of my earlier post was an attempt to:
- derail the rehashing of the Lsjbot-good-or-evil discussion, as it's
pointless and, quite simply, Not Up To You, as Wikimedia-l subscribers, but up to each specific community, as would be discussed in each community's on-wiki discussion spaces. 2. separate the "top 10" issue that was the original trigger for this renewed discussion, and suggest a constructive direction in which that anxiety could be fruitfully addressed, quite apart from whether and which communities decide to employ Lsjbot to populate their wikis.
I hope that's clearer now.
