However, there's been a debate brewing over whether a certain bot could be given admin status, so that it could explicitly apply protection to any page included by a given page. I believe this bot was intended to address the same problem (i.e. main page vandalism). Presumably that debate can now be called off, as the bot is no longer needed?
Heh, the bit he's not commenting on....Werdna disliked the bot on principle, I think, and this partly boosted his work on the functionality in question. So yes, the bot is more or less redundant.
