I don't get the point. These domains are set up by German native speakers
and prepared for more languages. The English version is just a copy of the
German version as a dummy content, since the content is not translated yet.
So where is the problem? Translation will be done as soon as possible.

And what would be the difference between the English version you might have
in mind and the "mid-European-style-version"?? It's English - and AFAIK
there are only two styles: British and American English.

I can read a lot of disappointment here. So could you please explain who
tread on your toes or what else makes you feel like this?
Which "agreement" and which "revolution" are you talking about?
