It's hard to compete with The Will to Power. I think that there is an underlying zeitgeist in favour of collaborative systems, but the experience of that model on a wide scale is very limited. The path of least resistance is to depend on familiar techniques; anything else seems counterintuitive.
In a wikipedian structure based on freedom, opening and participation we are applying an anamorphic skeleton which has taking its own shape.
Our theories do favour freedom, but the greatest threat to that freedom is the human tendency is to protect a fixed vision to the point of stagnancy. In nature, the octopus is a great example of an animal that has been successful without a skelton.
