Whole heartedly agree that this is a known and recognized limitation
of the RfC process, apart from where we are talking about Wikimedia
Commons, not the English Wikipedia. Of course it does not invalidate
the RfC as a survey of users that do log in, edit and hear about RfC
pages.

Was there a report from a survey that supported having a MediaViewer
specified as rolled-out and better represents the majority "user base"
rather than the volunteer community of contributors?
