--- Comment #10 from Derk-Jan Hartman <[email protected]> ---
I don't feel comfortable with pushing this change, especially right now. There
is enough of a mess already, I don't want us to generate more.

I propose we just have this sit around until someone comes asking again, and
then we point them here, saying there is no technical reasons not to do it,
only political and that if they show us something that resembles a community
agreement _across_ the wiki's, we will deploy this. That will save us the time
in having to shepherd this through, collect evidence and deal with post change
effects. Lets use that time for more important and constructive long term
improvements, like for instance... SUL

I mean, it's not like we need this from a software or operations point of view.
Design wants it (but I don't see how it would be critical to them) and a lot of
community members have asked for it, but until someone shows me something
resembling community consensus over multiple wikis, i'm not very much inclined
to support a change like this. And even when that is there, we still need to do
a substantial announcement.

So for anyone visiting this ticket: "Please show that you have the support of a
substantial number of wikimedia communities and NO, for technical reasons, this
is NOT a per project decision."
