Next time you feel that Wikimedia's community is particularly change averse, take a spin through the comments here. :-)
38,000 comments and counting. :) Here Flickr summarised what they took from it: http://www.flickr.com/help/forum/en-us/72157633771838324/ [1].
As a follow-up to my question on how visible Creative Commons works are now[2], it's interesting to note that flickr.com/creativecommons/ is not even in flickr.com/explore while flickr.com/commons/ is even in home, with one random image from the institutional partners shown to every visitor. In comparison, content on Commons from our partnerships probably has very little visibility unless used in Wikimedia projects. Though again we can't know, for lack of stats. On the other hand, it may make sense that Flickr doesn't give an equal visibility to CC works because they're perceived as being of lower quality on average...

[1] For instance, the new Flickr is surely slower: "the site faster, and at the very least as fast as it was before 5/20" reminded me of "[RFC] performance standards for new mediawiki features" http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.science.linguistics.wikipedia.technical/68562/ [2] Someone else noted too: https://encrypted.google.com/search?q="creative+commons"+site%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr.com%2Fhelp%2Fforum%2Fen-us%2F72157633531678083%2F And the advanced search is broken again for me, as for this user: http://www.flickr.com/help/forum/en-us/72157633770497507/page2/#reply72157633839533129
