Can someone explain to me how things work here when editors need to interface
with the developers to make a change?  We were hoping to just clearly explain
what we need, point to the successful proposal which shows community consensus
for a trial of the change, and get a dev to flip the user-rights switch for us.
 We were not aware that the entire concept was subject to another round of
re-litigation by the developers at the 11th hour once the request is made on
bugzilla.  In particular, I'm concerned that these bugzilla discussions are not
visible to any of the hundreds of editors who participated in the actual
request for comments on enwiki.
If there are technical issues with making this change, please let us know and
we will work with you to resolve them.  If you have editorial concerns about
the change, then my feeling is that those concerns should have been voiced at
the proposal, which ran for nearly 2 months and was widely advertised all over
the village pump and centralized discussion areas.
I don't want to come off as hostile and I don't want to dismiss anyone's
legitimate concerns, but I feel like the comments being made here are
essentially editorial comments by editors who missed the original proposal, and
I find these comments to be out of place in this venue.
Please let me know if my concerns are unfounded, or if this is the status quo
here.  Many editors have been planning the details of this trial for close to 6
months and are itching to see it get underway.
