The reality is that its recent actions have made no difference in that respect other than reducing the number of anti WMF people in senior positions on commons by one. Realistically there was no course of action that the WMF people could take that would bring that anti WMF commons people onside. Partly because they are pretty set on their current position and partly because in most cases it is an extension of being anti-english wikipedia and that is frankly even less fixable.
My point is that reducing the number of anti WMF people in senior positions on commons by one they might have converted some pro WMF people in senior positions on commons to anti WMF people, producing more damage for themselves than they hoped to create good.
