I wholeheartedly agree with that comment Chris. I am
also opposed to that watch list feature.

J'ajouterais que le concept de Wikipedia est egalement
que plusieurs langues cohabitent pour le meilleur et
pour le pire, et qu'elles partagent le même logiciel.
Ce qui pourrait constituer une raison valable pour
désormais discuter des évolutions du logiciel tous
ensemble et non dans le cercle (certes majoritaire)
anglosaxon seulement; Merci :-)))
