I can't remember a board member, aside from Arne Klempert talking about it. Instead i heard the argumentation that some censors would unbanning Wikipedia if we implemented such a feature as preemptive obedience. But who is really such naive to believe it? Censors aren't happy with a opt-in solution. They prefer the unable to opt-out solutions and are also interested in textual content as well.
