Whenever resources are limited there are some possibile allocatations of resources which are more ideal (by some metric) than others.
I'm not sure volunteer labor of the Wikipedia sort is a resource that can be significantly allocated, other than by an invisible hand. I wonder if it'd be possible to prove that a [[laissez-faire]] approach to notability produces a [[Pareto efficient]] allocation of resources.
I see no reason why the removal of the space constraint should change the *ideal* subject matter distribution substantially.
Doesn't the term "ideal" essentially mean "without constraints"?
