There are already pissed-off Wikimedians likely to be contacting them
as individuals. So I want to make this a nice call. I know they've
already started getting upset (though all extremely well written)
emails (I've gotten copies).

When you thump a hornet's nest with a cricket bat, you get to
negotiate with each hornet individually. Thankfully we're not that
keen to sting, honest ...
