The referendum was pretty clearly predicated on the basis that the
feature was going forward:

"The Board of Trustees has directed the Wikimedia Foundation to
develop and implement a personal image hiding feature."

"[The referendum was held] to gather more input in to the development
and usage of an opt-in personal image hiding feature".

And from the resolution:

"We ask the Executive Director, in consultation with the community, to
develop and implement a personal image hiding feature..."

(not "We ask the Executive Director, so long as the
can't-recognise-the-irony-in-fighting-censorship-by-stopping-people-choosing-what-they-want-to-see
crowd gives their blessing, to develop and implement...")

The questions are all relating to the development of the feature, save
for the 'culturally neutral' question: the first is about how to
prioritise it, and the others are about setting out the specs for the
feature.
