I agree, but it's pretty unlikely. And even if they do, stewards aren't *that* powerful. I'm not really sure what they would do. A vandal getting steward access could cause a hell of a mess, but why would Iran want to do that? They can't shut us down or censor us with just a steward account. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
