Erik, my level of satisfaction is irrelevant. As I expressed in the Commons
RfC, "I Don't Like It"-style votes are not valuable, and should not be counted
in evaluating consensus.

It seems that you and the Multimedia Team, though, don't take the same view on
the other side. You seem to attach great importance to the fact that you
reached out to some Wikipedians, and they responded "I Like It."

The "NOTCONSENT" policy cited makes it clear that WMF must act on its own
discretion on legal matters, and I have no quarrel with that. Certainly there
are cases where consensus has no place. But this is not one of them. On matters
that involve sophisticated judgment -- is it your position that WMF is capable
of evaluating what constitutes good judgment, and local communities are not?

It seems that you are quick to cite your community engagement practices when
doing so serves your objective of deploying the software, but quick to dismiss
community input that do not support that objective.
