This seems a bit jumbled to me. We have no idea what elynross's or astolat's actual positions are - for all you know that's a courtesy thing. The mods told astolat no on one of her evidence posts a few years ago. That doesn't look like she's still in charge to me.
Also I don't get your argument that she's going against AO3 policies because of her mod role in Yuletide. If anything she's making Yuletide more complicated because of her opinions on wrangling policies. IF any of her alleged behavior is true and not misrepresented.
The separation or lack thereof of yuletide and AO3 has caused issues since the switch from the old archive -mass emergency wrangling the first year, the skin/tag set debacle, etc. a lot of people have issues with general resources being diverted to prioritise yuletide over everything else while it's not an official project. Hh's wrangling issues are just the latest iteration of that.
How does any of this relate to any other part of it?
