Am I the only one who thinks this is absolutely impossible? I'm thinking 2,500, and even that's ambitious. Per WP:100K, each FA requires 50 editing-hours- that's 5,000,000 editing-hours for 100,000 FAs. Dividing that by 8760 hours in a year, that's over 570 editors working 24/7/365. More realistically, we'd have editors working on average maybe 2 hours a day at most, so multiply that number by 12. That's 6840 editors working 2 hours a day, 7 days a week for a year, solely on articles that they will make featured. 2,500 FAs would require only 125,000 hours, when dividing by the hours in a year it works out to be a bit over 14 editors working 24/7/365 and 168 working 2/7/365 only on creating FAs.
I'm not presuming the FA process as it stands or anything like it; I am presuming the FA criteria.
It's probably impossible. So?
