Required? As in, we would block people if they refused to do it? That seems extreme, and there is no other definite way to require something. We can 'say' we require it, but it will be an empty requirement.

Okay, and is more freedom necessarily beneficial to the community? That's what I want to know. I'm not concerned with the general ideal of 'freedom'; this is a wiki, political power doesn't exist, and thus neither does tyranny, and freedom is not a concern in of itself. I'm still concerned about the ossification of these processes... which you haven't addressed except to say that it doesn't matter in the long run. Well, to be frank, what form of wiki government we have won't matter in the long run either. So if that's a sufficient counterargument, then it also destroys your whole argument for reform.
