I'm not so sure. I've always opposed Jimbo Wales' undue influence in Wikimedia content, and this isn't really a problem now. There was a time where he could have been titled "GodKing", but with arbcom and through his own disengagement, this is no longer an issue.
Jimbo Wales does a lot in terms of publicity and public relations. The talks around the world that he has given have raised the profile of the project. Is this still so?
Wikipedia has about as much profile as it is going to get. I would suggest that we should be more concerned with optimising our use of that profile.
