Thanks, Brion. Specifically, could we require

I oppose this on Commons, for the reasons I have given in this thread
when this was previously brought up:

Commons != Wikipedia. Commons is a special case. We've got Enotif
enabled, we have globally visible media. I don't think that the
arguments made in a thread on a list for a different project, 4-5 months
ago, are equally valid when applied to Commons at this point in time.
