We is really Jimbo and the Wikimedia Foundation, plus anybody who 
happens to agree with their call on a major issue. E.g., that NPOV is 
non-negotiable. Or that we're building an encyclopedia rather than 
anything else. Although I'd hope that "we" would include the bulk of the 
current community, for the purposes of this thought experiment, it might 
not.

Of course, that's the opportunity for other "we"s to crystallize. Just 
like Conservapedia or Citizendium. And there's nothing wrong with that.
