I personally concluded that wasting a huge lot of time discussing 
whether this filter will make us waste a huge lot of time — to implement 
and discuss the (obviously controversial) categorization of images (with 
endless edit-wars and possibly a permanent ForestFire) — would be a bit 
contradictory. The filter could just collapse by itself if editors won't 
care about it (my personal hope).
But Jimmy Wales at Wikimania reminded us how many bureaucratic processes 
we have which drain us a surprising amount of energy (and happyness, 
even; especially of new editors), so perhaps this will just be one more.
