Wikis are all about eventualistic processes. It's kind of the point. That said, automatic notification of people who care that a statement has become stale is useful. Perhaps this could set a special flag in watchlists? I'm against the idea of automatically updating content for the reason that it's assuming the prediction in the article about a future event is true and actually happened as predicted.
That's an interesting compromise.
It's actually a refutation of your position (as were all the other posts pointing out that automatic updating is a bad idea), but if you want to call it a compromise, fair enough. :-)
