That discussion was started over a day ago; now that images which were
in use elsewhere are being restored, it's a bit passe.  Reuploading
images would be a pain... as the Commons editors weighing in on that
page indicated, I don't think they have any interest in deleting any
useful images.

You mean TheDJ's request from Friday night?  He's a Commons admin
(assuming he returns), he's not "forwarding" a request from en!

Thank goodness this is often not true ;)

Actually, things seem to be settling down, and admins are returning to
Commons.  (though I'm sure you can find more drama if you look for
it.)
