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)?
