Vast majority maybe, but not everyone.

If the bottom line is becoming the most visited website, then it's
obviously a bad idea.  If the bottom line is to create the worlds best
encyclopedia, on the other hand, there's not an obvious winner either
way.

Let's agree to disagree on this one.  I highly doubt either of us
would convince the other that ey's right, and I also highly doubt such
a discussion is going to cause any change in policy.
