I would agree with this wholeheartedly, except I would also note that  
the push to "get it right now" is all too often turning into a push  
to get it wrong - the move away from eventualism seems to me to be  
accompanied by a dramatic lowering in our standards for ourselves. As  
I commented on #wikipedia last night, if Larry Sanger submitted the  
Larry's Text articles now, they'd get AfDed in a heartbeat. That's...  
ummm... bad.
