That's an interesting opinion. It seems that you are suggesting that the problem is not recoverable. How do you know that is true?
Presumably the WMF have a plan for when people wake up and realise the
only way to innovate is to fork the entire infrastructure and community, but I'll confess to not understanding what it is.
To my knowledge, we have no safes with letters written by Jimmy containing contingency plans for when Wikipedia comes crashing down.
