That's not a founding principle, that's a quip from Jimbo that came
much later than foundation
Otherwise I agree completely with you


This has been mixing two different things: should commons host images
like that one (yes), should commons allow such images on main page (as
community decides)

The proper way to move forward here is not get into a hot discussion,
but realize that what we need is more and more people getting involved
on the featuring process.

If everybody "disappointed" about this image being promoted would get
involved, then the problem would actually start going away.
