Hoi,
The big question is not so much where and when things happen, the big
question is who supports all the muck. There have been enough instances
where changes to for instance common.js brought down servers.
This is not a zero sum game. It is not as if there are no consequences. I
am certain that the "community" will not be happy when Wikipedia goes black
for them or because of them. So when the totality goes down, who to blame
and who is to fix it .. the "community"?? Will it blame itself or will it
shrug it off like always? Or will it blame the WMF because "it" feels
entitled??
Thanks,
GerardM
