Those who read the signpost or follow arbcom for whatever reason will know that “Fæ is indefinitely banned from the English Language Wikipedia. He may request reconsideration of the ban six months after the enactment of this remedy, and every six months thereafter.”
This is incompatible with him remaining chair and for that matter a board member.
No it isn't in any legalistic sense. It is also not "incompatible" with Fæ getting on with serious work for the chapter while the enWP situation, involving a high degree of mischief-making, calms down.
To try to make the point concisely: ArbCom makes judgements of this kind, "what, all considered, is the best thing to do about this mess/wrangle/farrago we have been asked to sort out?" Quarrels gets dumped in its lap, and it has to make a call about where next. To take its remit, which is solely about enWP, to be wider, is a sort of mistake of reading too much in.
