This is not an "outcome", in the sense that it will not stop here. Other images will appear, and one can easily find images that are fine for articles but will upset a lot of people if they are put in place of their user page.
Yes. I am not really bothered by the redirect vandalism. It's a wiki and will always be vulnerable to mischief of one sort or another. Presumably a technical fix that still permits interwiki links of some sort will be forthcoming. I was referring to the outcome of all those months of individuals trying to pre-empt consensus to delete, by acting unilaterally. This was the right way to do it.
