This is exactly why I think Dave Hayes' unilateral action is a Bad Thing. If
you think the traffic is split now, just wait until the network gets
fragmented.

About the only thing that can be done about this netwide is to honor the
results of the vote, as a large number of admins will be doing exactly that.

What has been devastating about it, besides the actions of a few
obstructionists who won't honor a legitimate result of an open, democratic
process?
