Well that changes everything (I missed that email). I don't agree with his 
decision but what is done is done. Precedent has been set and now we will 
have to pony up the money to reactivate wikipedia.de and also start to buy up 
other country code wikipedia domains as well (prioritizing based on use/size 
of the particular language versions). 

Sigh. IMO that would be money better spent on hardware.
