No it isn't in any legalistic sense. It is also not "incompatible" with Fæ getting on with serious work for the chapter while the enWP situation, involving a high degree of mischief-making, calms down. To try to make the point concisely: ArbCom makes judgements of this kind, "what, all considered, is the best thing to do about this mess/wrangle/farrago we have been asked to sort out?" Quarrels gets dumped in its lap, and it has to make a call about where next. To take its remit, which is solely about enWP, to be wider, is a sort of mistake of reading too much in.
