At the current time, the way I see it there are three things that can happen:
- A dev can stick his neck out to make a decision, either affirmative
or negative, on whether the 60% survey justifies adopting the proposed "trial" settings. 2) The WMF can intervene to make a decision. 3) The enwiki community can try to reach a clearer consensus. (I do think one could build more than 60% support by compromising/engaging with some of the more moderate opposition.)
Options 1 and 2 are near enough to the same thing, since most of the sysadmins are part of the WMF. I'd be happy to enable it as proposed, on the basis of the poll, providing that Brion indicates that he has no objection to that action, after conferring with the rest of the San Francisco staff.
