Just curious here: what exactly could Jimbo actually do to fix problems like BLPs, porn, the horribly broken social structure, the elitism in the bureaucracy, and the shady side of the WMF/Wikia relationship? Can he redeem himself, or is it too late? Would anything short of getting a quiet day job be satisfactory?

He could also just die, and then we hope for more responsible and effective leadership to fill the vacuum. I'm kind of figuring his sitting around in that pizza shop with his daughter, reading the Cat Warrior series, is maybe shaving a few months off his lifespan. The added inches around his gut are certainly showing up now.
