Actually, the SOPA blackout notice was developed and deployed by WMF
staff.
Point of clarification:
Developed and deployed, yes - but at the request of the English Wikipedia
community, in the form of the RFC that was run.
Staff developed it because they could be quickly tasked to it; had the RFC
gone the other way, we wouldn't have intervened.
