The problem I have is with the timescale. I was away that weekend (though I was briefly active on Commons, I didn't have time to check much else). I had no time to look at the discussion when it opened on Friday, and by the time I got back and had time on Monday evening to look at the discussion, it had closed. A discussion like that should have been started at least a week before the planned action. Anything requiring action on a swifter timescale should have been delegated following (at minimum) a week-long community discussion. Ironically, I just tried to look up some comments made in one of the earlier discussions, but was unable to do so. Shouldn't the discussions leading up to the blackout have been omitted from the blackout? I think some were, but not all. If there are some discussion pages related to this that are still readable (even if not editable), could someone list them here?
