Hi Nemo (& others)
I know of at least one non english project that has implemented a much stronger stance
against paid contributions
Their are two possibilities when specific projects discuss if they need to have their own
policy on this topic
a) If all participants of the project agree on what they would like to implement, then it
should not be a long discussion.
b) If there are different opinions this could be a longer discussion and is a worthwhile
one to have (and the general ToU is a general fall back in case there is no conclusion to
that discussion)
In both cases this is a discussion that worth having. One of the most important things we
have is our integrity (and the perception of that integrity by our readers), and having a
frank discussion (per project) on how we protect this integrity is not a waste of time or
useless overhead, its incredibly relevant.

Anyway, I'm not sure why you are assuming
that the amendment will
automatically be abhorrent to every community that's not English Wikipedia.
And why do you think it will be useful? If it was needed, how comes only some 50
non-en.wiki editors came to support it (and about as many opposed it)?
