I'm not much wikiolder than you are, but one observation I think I've made is a relatively sudden decline in eventualist attitude in 2005.
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.
