Hello Muzammil,
you might or might not be aware of my reason to visit Meta. It's about the new media viewer which is imposed on (nearly) everbody in spite of being really useful, at least for me. The way the WMF acted in the course of action is unkind at least. WMF should be aware that it is very uncommon that a fork is considered in answer to the ways of the WMF in this (and, in the past, other) matters, and it is the first time for me to consider supporting such an effort. At least, communities should be able to set the defaults for new software like VE or media viewer, which, in this case, would most probably be to set the default to "off".
