... except that this is not what happened. While that narrative might be satisfying for someone who looks for a sense of being the stalwart defender of an oppressed community, the reality is that superprotect was created to block the deployment of a technically inapt and entirely broken "fix" that was - itself - a kneejerk reaction.
Which is not to say that its creation or use was wise in any way - it wasn't. But trying to reframe things in "oh, evil WMF did all wrong against the poor, innocent community" terms serves no purpose other than create a windmill to tilt at.
