Little actual opposition but there are more important things to worry
about. largely a don't care attitude as far as I have been able to
tell.


If we move away from the general community feelings and look at the
issues involved the level of copyvios on en is a problem that prevents
mass moves. Screw ups like this:

http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Image:Gas_syringe.jpg&diff=4749467&oldid=4575607

are the problem with individual moves.


Until we have a way within the software (ok I can think of a work
around method using bots) to really move images rather than copy and
paste any mass moving project would be a mistake.
