Hoi, Given that your view is bi-polar, it is obvious who you side with.. In reality our communities are much more of a collective. There is nothing that gives one person the right to decide for an other and, in reality there is no consensus among the communities. Even within one community there is nothing whereby you can state truthfully that people all agree.
The point is very much: the editors are not business partners. The community does not represent them. If anything it is more anarchistic with attributes of a collective. Thanks, Gerard

Hey List,
final part of three - I think after all this gloom I do have to propose some solutions too:
#1 EASY but hard on the ego
Only activate the pretty viewer on mobile devices per default. See
- easy. And those german wikipedians, who are "in Europe but
certainly in the global south (GerardM)" can live happily ever after as well as those tablet driven southern rascals who are the future. Give the chapters some clearly defined discretion concerning feature-activation. Define the difference and rights (!) of the community concerning tech decisions, management stuff and content-specific decisions.
#2 HARDER but easier on the ego
Just set it active but don't hinder admins to deactivate it after local RfCs. Get rid of the - now - poisonous superprotect.
#3 DESTRUCTIVE but great for the ego
Have fun showing those volunteers who got the power. We got the money, we got the last say, we have superpowers! I mean - really?
