So maybe it could stay, as a "technical office action" mechanism, if future
usage is clearly defined and accepted by "the community" (TM)?
Not advocating either way here...

Yes. It was used a few months ago to prevent editing the Germany item on

Superprotect in my opinion if used correctly is an essential tool which
can
prevent legal and technical issues that can in
theory cause wide
disruption.
In my private opinion the technical part of Superprotect has a potential to
be useful, it is the social background (who approves its use, how it can be
used, etc.) that matters and that is the bone of contention (and justified
concerns). I have a hope that we will have it resolved before the next
anniversary or earlier :)
