It wasn't my intention to provoke a personal altercation, even if some of my
comments could be interpreted that way. I'm merely saying out loud what many of
us see but are unwilling to volunteer (probably for good reason, but I'm fine
being it, having no ties or reputation to preserve). Individuals should be
pointed out when they act in a way that contributes to the systemic problem
that the community overwhelmingly feels is present and the Wikimedia Foundation
denies. It's important that someone be willing to do that, or else there's
little chance it'll ever change.

Thank you. So long as delays aren't caused by various unproposed and
inappropriate extras, I'm personally fine with people taking their time. I was
actually going to give the understandable Thanksgiving lull another day or two
before asking questions again, but was contacted yesterday by another user, and
figured it was as good a time as any. 

It's good to know the requirements are now finished and the configuration
change that effectively creates the namespace can now be implemented. Please
let us know if any further causes for delay materialize. Otherwise I'm excited
to see this new namespace.
