Andrew Grey the 4th person replying to my overly delayed original post has already stated that. It was pointless for me to say so.
I have been defending myself from the attacks directed at me. I might have ignored it but I am not required to do so.
I will not be manupilated like that. :)
As for your PS, thats too late of a warning naw :)

Playing the victim complex isn't helping you win anyone over to
your
point of view. When people start acting like they're the victim
...
well, that's what they become.

Could you *please* stop forum-shopping then? This isn't the first time you're told something and you come to Foundation-l looking for a
different
answer.

Like I implied on my earlier post. Regulating it would be much easier and time consuming from a central location: Meta.

Wikibooks has the same problem - interwiki linking is rather more complicated for the non-Wikipedia project. I think it would be
acceptable
to give a global bot flag BUT bots are only to work where approved (ie not
on
Wikibooks unless you ask first; not on Wikisource if you ask first).
This
allows stewards to not waste time flagging a bot on all Wikipedias (use
the
global flag) but the bot should then only work on Wikipedias (unless it
is
allowed to work on the other families). However, thoughts on this may differ. I know many don't agree that people/bots are able to /not/ use rights they have, but that's just not true. Just because a bot is globally flagged as such doesn't mean it
must
work on all wikis - it is quite easy to restrict it to only one family.

We do have a bot policy:
[[:meta:Bot policy]]
It is implemented in all small wikipedias I am active.
Bot owners (in
theory) leave a request at a special bot page, if
there are no objections
within a reasonable time (a week or so), the steward
grants the bot
status. Once I had to report on meta and actually ask
stewards to grant
the bot flag for some of the old requests on os.wp.
You may be sure the small wikis suffer much more when
a bot can not get
the status since the list of recent changes becomes
unusable - this is for
instance what is right now happening with the newly
created wikis.
This is one of the most problematic issues: Asking for bot flag on ~250 projects is really painful. There should be one place for asking the bot flag for interwiki bots.
Please no global flag for interwiki bots. An all Wikipedia flag would
be
fine but not a global one. Interwiki's to not work in a strait forward fashion on Wikisource and bots using the code that works on Wikipedias create a big mess on Wikisource. Interwikis bots will probably only be able to be work properly off of a "white-list" on Wikisources. These
white-list
have not yet been made so for right now interwikis need to be done by
hand.
Please do not authorize any bots to do this task on Wikisources.

It's been pointed out that this was already discussed elsewhere. I no longer subscribe to Wikien-l, so I cannot personally say what the resolution to such discussion was.
"Sorry, this was held in moderation and is now out of context," would've been an appropriate first response. The fact that you're continuing to debate it when others pointed out it's been debated elsewhere comes across as trying to get a different answer from before.
