I believe it is vital for our survival, that we manage to transform our
communities into a more professional way of working then we have today
(which very much look the same as 5 or 10 years ago, when we were newbies)
I for example think about 50% of our project should be closed down as
their quality is so rotten it represent a major risk for our global
brand (when and if these are made commonly known).
And we cannot accept sysops working as mad despots. Eiither re-election
should be made mandatory or a WMF/steward/BoT controlled body should
monitor misuse of sysoprights.
And in this perspective I am of the opinion that we must also treat bad
user more strict. So I welcome this initiative as a very minor first
step, even if it surely can be improved

shortage of bad people on wiki projects since their inception. We
typically block disruptive accounts and move on.
As I noted, this is a legal stick, not a computer security one.
