Speaking for myself, I'm not convinced that taking action on a two year old RFC at Commons is the most pressing component of this collection of issues (though I understand and respect that others might feel differently). I strongly agree with the principle that ignoring a request is far worse than merely refusing to grant it. But I also feel that there is more support for that perspective at the WMF these days than there has been during the past two years. I think it's best if we all keep that possibility in mind, as we make choices about what issues to bring up again, and how to present them. -Pete [[User:Peteforsyth]] (author of Letter to WMF on Superprotect and Media Viewer: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Letter_to_Wikimedia_Foundation:_Superprotect_and_Media_Viewer ) On Mon, Mar 14, 2016 at 2:01 PM, Vi to <vituzzu.w...@gmail.com> wrote: > Oh I missed dates, this is a good point then.
