If they don't do this properly (and they won't), more squabbling and system crashes will occur. Inevitable.

This sounds like a very good way for them to be hacked, or at least an admin to cause a lot of damage. I was thinking about the possibility of a bad actor gaining admin rights and breaking the site this way, but then I remembered that these are the same people who deleted the main page over a dozen times, they won't need a bad actor, they'll break it themselves.

Well it's now 10 days past the required deadline for the first step of the project and there isn't even a pull request. Already failing before it even started. Distinctly WMF.
