Asaf, I agree in some ways. ENWP's email list is a backwater though, and since the discussion that got me thinking about this issue started on this list it made sense to me to keep it on this list. Also, other wikis' experiences with VE are relevant. My personal experience with VE has most recently been on Meta. Also, you may remember that I suggested that a recent and much more intensive discussion about Commons would have been better elsewhere than this list, but a lot of it stayed here. The volume of this conversation about VE is pretty low. There should be a single standard on this list, not separate standards for Commons and ENWP.
However, I agree that we don't need to keep this conversation here. Risker and anyone else who's interested, please continue on my ENWP talk page or start a thread somewhere like VP-T.
