Is this in the RfA guidelines? "If you've been using an open
proxy to edit, in violation of WP:NOP, first figure out a
plausible reason for having done so." Will that be in there now?
This all reminds me of the neverending shenanigans over political
appointments in the U.S., whenever there's a different party
in the executive and legislative branches. Every time, the
stonewalling party has to figure out a new way to torpedo the
evil other party's appointment, since all the old tricks are
known and circumvented by now.
If you're going to go there the Scooter Libby situation could be more
analogous.
