The policy for fulfilling shell requests is and has always been that
they will be fulfilled if agreement of the relevant community can be
demonstrated, and they're technically acceptable and in line with wiki
principles and so on (no $wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false;).
The opinions of those outside the community are AFAIK not considered
when fulfilling such requests, unless they point out technical
problems or similar.
