So long as people start calling it "plastering over the problem" and
not "reverting", since it's not actually reverting in any sensible
meaning of the word. Calling it "reverting" perpetuates the myth that
it's either simple or foolproof, and it's neither.

Anyway, the FAQ says that copyright violations should go to the
foundation (see my post to the talk ML), which is good and proper and
allows them to keep records of these incidents in case it comes up
later in court. Vandalism/mistakes etc is something we can deal with
ourselves, for the most part, without escalating to the Data WG.

Cheers,
Andy
