Platonides comment on fair use images, you say in point 2 that hotlinking is something that fits nicely withing the wmf mission, I say it should not be possible to hotlink fair use images.
How would you argue that serving _fair_use_images_ for someone else is within wmf mission? How would you argue that such use of the images does not violates the copyright owners rights to the images?
At the risk of stating the obvious, the person hotlinking the image could also have an entirely reasonable fair use claim.
