Thread:Talk:Article feedback/Community consensus for full deployment on all English Wikipedia articles 31 May 2011?/reply (10)

Von Restorff, this will apparently surprise you, but the WMF does not require permission from "the community" to do anything the WMF wants with the WMF's own websites.

You might also like to reflect on the gap between "listen to" and "instantly obey". The devs have listened to complaints about the early versions of the AFT, and have even incorporated many constructive suggestions into the future version. It is true that they have not instantly obeyed the demands of a very small number of noisy en.wp users to disable a feature that is being used by thousands of users every week, but "obey" is not a required component of "listen to".

If you personally can't stand the tool, then you personally should read and follow the instructions at Article feedback/FAQ instead of demanding that the WMF obey your demands to run their websites the way that you would prefer.
