WOW, you guys are bashing the WMF for not supporting a
legal nightmare, and

legalities and paperwork necessary to avoid the WMF from getting their
asses sued off for bad answers is probably a multi-year endeavor, and a
money sink. How would such a system function without degrading into a crap
pit? And how would that further the goals of the WMF?
