> What do you expect someone [...] to do?

I don't expect anyone to do anything. As a person reading this story, I just commented on the fact that it would be interesting to know more details as to how the app ended up making these requests in the first place.

I was just expressing my personal opinion that if I went this far investigating the situation, that's what I'd like to find out as well.

> [...] when their only concern is limiting/lowering that traffic?

If that were their only concern, they could have just (quoting my previous comment):

>> block[ed] the request URL/UA string pair, which was also an option

However:

>> since they already traced the culprit with a lot of effort [...] the logical ultimate step to conclude their investigation should be to see what the code does

Like everything else, this is just my personal opinion of course.

> your frustrations

> your frustration

Not really sure where this comes from but it's really unnecessary.

I'm glad for Wikimedia that they resolved the issue, and shared the details, which make for an interesting read.
