What exactly do you mean by "permanently
reserved"?
Is there some sort of binding legal document which says this? Or is it

It doesn't say "English Wikipedia".
Thus, the _new_ policy proposed by Geritt should be in line with this
quote which we have to follow because it came from above.
The
http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/* and
http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/*
URL spaces are permanently reserved for maintaining past links to
English Wikipedia, which is currently living at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/*.
Since they are permanently reserved for existing past links, no new use
of that space is possible.
