No idea. For ages you've been able to just go onto the Wikimedia servers
and change whatever you feel like, and answer to nobody? You must be
misunderstanding my question or something.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but AFAIR
Domas was the MySQL admin guy since
pretty much the beginning, and I think that the fact he's sysop won't
change anyway, no matter what happens.
For the notes, the step of banning everything without UA sucks
totally. Sure, the API and other abuse-prone stuff can be blocked, but
ordinary article watching should ALWAYS be possible, no matter what
fucked-up UA you use.
