I thought Bron said he would do a CT first, but I wasn't a the moot though (personally I would have voted for a CT, but that's done now). I agree that it will help speed up the process. I know, I was at the moot. And they justified not CT:ing it by the fact that the majority of the voters agreed on the issue at the moot. But it shouldn't be about the vote in the moot, it should be about who should have a vote in the matter. If it affects the whole wiki, the whole wiki should have a say in it. Regadless of the fact if they actually use the function.

Again, according to moot guidelines you are not supposed to CT something unless it is highly contentious. It was a clear majority, so that was not necessary. Also remember that there is nothing stopping you from making a CT now. Instead of complaining here, do something about it if you think it's such a big problem.

Status article votes most certainly do not affect the whole wiki. They are a very minor part of the wiki and serve as examples of high-quality articles, nothing more. Most of the community has no clear idea of what being CA/GA/FA entails and as a result votes ended up placing bad articles in status positions, which is the exact opposite of what we want.
