Absolutely.

However, I think it is fair to say that if the toxicity of the English
Wikipedia at this point is so great as to impact on the Foundation
(e.g. on the Foundation's ability to raise money), then that is
definitely a matter for the list.

If necessary, the Wikimedia community at large will have to take
action to "fix" the English Wikipedia community - but "coup" is such
an ugly word. :-)
