The status quo is an argument that needs to stop. Editors have opposed it for some time and it should have been removed months ago. Editors edit warred and eventually we stuck all the names in. I don't see that as status quo or consensus over a long term. And maybe we should get a count of how many editors have edited it in over the last year. I can think of one or two editors alone who probably have huge numbers on this. It seems only fair to get the whole scope. And your count also fails to recognize the number of dirfferent editors that agree with the reasoning to remove.
