We have a plurality of interested parties (including many long-standing 
users who care deeply about the project) saying that that sort of hoax 
is appropriate for Friday, but Raul and Mav very belligrently (vis 
"veto" , "sneaky vandalism") opposing.

At the moment it looks like Raul's and Mav's concerns have been 
addressed on the FAC talk page but they do not accept the response. We 
would do well to sort this out one way or the other before Friday... 
what if someone on the other side decides to get as threatening as mav 
and Raul and get into a revert war on the issue... now that ''would'' be 
lame.
