This might not be a terrible idea. It should be as easy as possible to provide
various views of the encyclopedia which are inoffensive, in turn, to
a) governments, b) children, c) the pious, etc. Giving reusers the
ability to
choose a limited subset of encyclopedia content is not censorship (though
one might argue that it makes targeted censorship easier). I can think of
a few cases in which I would find it appropriate to remove "a fairly high
percentage of our articles on drugs," among other things, from a particular
snapshot or CD.
