Is there really a presumption that after straining at a mouse -- trivial and clearly temporary -- limitations of Jimbo's technical powers, with great gusto and grand drama; the wikimedian community will kneel down and swallow an elephant. Content labeling is *HUGE*, much much much huger than a temporary and correctible loss of a few files, and a mild rebuke that Jimbo can live down and rise from the ashes again, after a suitable time. I will also state for the record that content labeling is a bad bad bad idea. Where on wiki have you set up a page consulting the community on whether we want this humongous change, so that I can go and voice my opposition?
