At last it is gone. Great news. Looking forward.

It's a great news to hear that superprotect is gone and the willingness of a better collaboration. It's a long-awaited move.

Yay! Great news about Superprotect's scrapping, also really good to hear the direction of travel on the development process.

Superprotect [1] was introduced by the Wikimedia Foundation to resolve
a
product development disagreement. We have not used it for resolving a dispute since. Consequently, today we are removing Superprotect from Wikimedia servers.
Without Superprotect, a symbolic point of tension is resolved. However,
we
still have the underlying problem of disagreement and consequent delays
at
the product deployment phase. We need to become better software
partners,
work together towards better products, and ship better features faster.
The
collaboration between the WMF and the communities depends on mutual
trust
and constructive criticism. We need to improve Wikimedia mechanisms to build consensus, include more voices, and resolve disputes.
There is a first draft of an updated Product Development Process [2]
that
will guide the work of the WMF Engineering and Product teams.[3] It stresses the need for community feedback throughout the process, but particularly in the early phases of development. More feedback earlier
on
will allow us to incorporate community-driven improvements and address potential controversy while plans and software are most flexible.
We welcome the feedback of technical and non-technical contributors.
Check
the Q&A for details.[4]
