Seeing news like this makes me sad initially because it feels like every "decent" tech company out there (Mozilla, Wikipedia come to mind) keeps getting sucked into culture wars that distract from their core missions.
Take a step back, and you realize that it's actually a very very positive thing to see this kind of news. We're seeing it because Wikipedians are not OK with this behavior, and they're trying to signal that to the folks running the show. I hope they listen more than Mozilla's management.
