Also, 118 people (190 vs. 72 votes in the "poll" [1] on German Wikipedia) are not "the community". They are a small part of the community.
The people who would profit [2] from the Media Viewer as a default feature were not consulted.
Cheers, Magnus

If we accept the policy in principle, I don't care who enforces such policy, that be community or WMF. Such policy does not go against community entirely, unless WMF shows a will to reject community patches related to issues which community finds important. Whether or not this is the case, I don't care; it's a website in their hands and they're welcome to shut it off without notice, or to experiment at leisure.

Whoever believes that an administration of a crowdsourcing website can do whatever they want just because they are running the website should recollect what recently happened to Internet Brands and Wikitravel.
