Let's be clear, here: the WMF hasn't done anything yet. This feature
has not been implemented. Everyone agreed there should be some
community consultation and that's what this poll was supposed to be.
If the poll had been done properly, we wouldn't have a problem. The
only problem is the the poll was so poorly designed that it will need
to be completely re-done to draw any useful conclusions.
