Well. not really. He's asking the same question Greg Maxwell and I
asked last month about the language list defaulting to open rather
than closed: If a wiki voted for it, would that override the usability
team's dictates? That was a straight "yes or no" question, like this
is, and we only got weaseling too.

I asked on internal-l and couldn't get a straight answer there either.

Straight answer, anyone?
