The non-volunteer devs *work for* the WMF.  If the WMF decides to listen to the
community (and that's a big if), I don't think the devs can reasonably say no.

What's more, the developers are primarily responsible for making functionality
the community wants available to the community.  They aren't doing that here,
and that's a Bad Thing.
