I do not think there were be links broken now.
It is very strange that no-one seems to have picked up on this. There are clearly many many more links to http://www.wikipedia.org (expecting to link to an English language encyclopedia) than ever before. The decision has been taken to break these links.
Whether the cost of breaking those links is worth the gain of getting a international portal is debatable.
More interesting to me is how this episode shows how what really matters is in getting something changed is what a tiny number of people think, not what the unwashed masses (who a: can't programme a computer and b: aren't on the board) think.
I think you have it wrong. This multilingual portal is long overdue seeing the multilingual nature of our project. However a redirect to the English was kept for various reason (see Anthere's mail). As she said, usually people refer to the whole multilingual project as http://www.wikipedia.org, not to the English Wikipedia only.
