Hi!
One might similarly argue that air conditioning or
other atmospheric
controls should not be allowed. ;-)
Most of that stuff is kept under very well controlled atmospheric
conditions, but that's only because they are prevent that stuff from
changing/degrading :)

Fine. That could justify a Wikibook about the language. It could
justify the inclusion of texts in the language in Wikisource. It might
even justify a Wiktionary for people who want to study the language.
The case for a Wikipedia in that language is much weaker.
If you add a transistor radio to the Cro-Magnon section
of a museum you're
going to pollute that section with improper content.
