Thank you for your perspective, Matt. I do believe that you always take
your work seriously. :)

Giuseppe, your point about a dedicated Media Wiki team is central. I've
talked to many in Tech about this. I wonder if that point should be made in
the incident report. Given the absence of a hired CTO to drive decisions
like this... is there anyone besides Wes on senior leadership that needs to
understand potential impacts (such as this one and many others)?
