It has always seemed to me that those who take a, how do I say it,
harsher interpretation of Wikipedia rules, policies and guidelines
(e.g., deletionists, those adamantly against fair use image usage, etc)
have always been able to create more of an impact on the project than
those that have a less harsh view. Sometimes I really wonder where this
project will be in five years.

Quiet burnouts are possibly more problematic than noisy ones precisely
because we don't know about them. And good hardworking volunteers
burning out is bad in general.
