If you had followed that, and understood that the Minimum Viable Product 
included cut-and-paste, table editing, and maybe the ability to 
successfully and completely edit the hundred or so most edited articles 
out of all the millions, you wouldn't have hit the level of pushback 
you've encountered. You released a sub-viable product, which is what 
caused the storm you encountered.

I'll be content with just blaming you, then. You value your team's 
productivity over everyone else's. I don't know why you expected 
everyone that has worked on Wikipedia for years to cheerfully clean up 
after you when you make it abundantly clear that you hold everything we 
have worked on in disdain.
