I use the plural because I know there is more than one editor (Guy) who cares about this, if only because there is also myself. I know there is more than that, however, because of the discussion pages (a sampling of which is linked below) regarding this.
The page itself is a starting point. If you want the meat of the community discussion, here's direct links:
* The original "Signpost" op-ed, a curated meta newspaper of which the user-page is merely a constantly-updated copy of: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2017-02-27/Op-ed https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2...
* Requests to the WMF for clarifcation:

etc, etc, etc. You get the point.
This is a huge rabbit hole and I didn't want to be accused of "Gish galloping" by linking all this at the top.
