Well, and also whether if it won't be reverted by another shell user. :)
Considering that we now have proof that the all-edits CAPTCHA didn't affect
vandalism, but merely reduced (a lot) both good and bad edits, adding it would
directly and blatantly contradict the WMF strategic plan (participation goal). 
The strategy is at board level and not even WMF staff, but in this case the
interpretation of it seems simple: it doesn't directly apply to everyone,
though (e.g. pt.wiki probably doesn't care), so perhaps a volunteer shell user
would be more confident about ignoring it; unless someone (the CTO?) redefines
the strategy's interpretation...

On a community/general point of view, there's still much more to say about this
request but the discussion is continuing at all levels so I'll leave it for
later.

By the way, we have a new dump: http://dumps.wikimedia.org/ptwiki/20130622/ I
eagerly wait for WikiStats. :)
