>From what I've read here and elsewhere, you're about the only person expressing moral outrage and indignation over these recent decisions being discussed in a public forum. I'm not sure this is particularly surprising given where you've been working the past few months, however, so I don't hold it against you. Given that this was discussed for weeks and then announced, I don't think waiting for anyone to return from vacation is necessary for a discussion, especially if there's a broader discussion being held about the virtue of the entire identification process. (For anyone who missed it, please read Risker's post in this topic.) This is all to say nothing of the fact that no single person in an organization should be so critical that their absence creates these types of issues. As I said in my opening post, these questions can wait for Philippe's return if they can't be addressed by others in the meantime, though as you've taken it upon yourself to jump in here, if you have a free minute, I'm sure a lot of people would appreciate some real content here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Identification_questions_and_answers And slightly tangential to the topic at hand, please don't top-post. I'm not sure about others, but I read the public mailing list archives occasionally and it makes a complete mess when people don't post inline (even if Gmail and some other web clients collapse the content neatly).
