[Foundation-l] A dangerous precedent

[Milos Rancic]

BTW, doesn Lang SubCom has anything to say about this? I saw Gerard's
vote, but I would like to see a statement, at least informal, of Lang
SubCom members. I didn't see how articles were looking on Lombard
Wikipedia, but if they were like articles on Volapuk Wikipedia, I have
to say that tendencies in our community are extremely worrying.

Up to those two cases, I was thinking that it would be good to have
one community at the global level which would be able to make some
decisions. After those two cases, I am really in doubt. It seems that
language borders are not giving only nationalisms, but a free space of
imposing crazy decisions of wounded vanities, too.
