You could look at "friends" as being a nepotistic conspiracy by which
cronies evilly band together to take control of what was supposed to
be a public, open project. Or, you could look at it as people
selecting only the Wikipedians they trust the most - as demonstrated
by experience and time with the project - to give access to
confidential information which could be used to hurt the project.

Pick whichever you prefer.
