False. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few and the [edits of
the] minority who choose to disrupt the community will be quickly and
efficiently purged from it (albeit wasting resources in the process that
could have been better utilised elsewhere).

It is clear that there is a small but vocal minority intent on spreading
'important' FUD and in my opinion these people can't see the forest for the
trees. Fortunately it seems the leadership has a good grasp on community
sentiment and sanity will prevail, with any luck sooner rather than later.
