The important point is that it's not the role of the board to change the status quo of a specific project in dramatic ways-- it's their job to speak up for what they think the project should be doing. Non-notable people shouldn't be shown on WM against their will- that isn't controversial. There are a lot of details to work out about when it's reasonable to infer consent and when it's not, but that's a debate for the leadership of Commons. So long as a project stays within the law, doesn't grossly misuse their resources, and isn't "evil", it is free to make mistakes.
