Oh yes, and what Carcharoth said about FLOSS history needing the secondary sources: if "they" don't write the history, it isn't just WP coverage that suffers, but the whole documentation, especially if the primary sources are emails, perishable web pages, and suchlike.
So basically, 'if you guys choose to use modern media like wikis and blogs, and not dead tree formats, then don't cry about your articles being deleted - it's all *your* fault! Cut your hair, you damn hippies!'
A lot of these deletions are on the complete absence of evidence that anyone outside the project actually cares.
By project you mean dwm, not Wikipedia, I presume? :-)
