Indeed. Could someone please answer:

* What was the precise usability penalty of the interlanguage links
being visibie by default?
* What are the numbers behind this decision?

And, most importantly, and the key question which people have been
iteratively trying to find the answer to:

* What would it take for the Foundation to agree to the interlanguage
links being made visible by default once more?

I hope the usability team can answer the above questions with as much
detail as possible.
