As Nicholas has pointed out this page is for exploring the 
implementation of the idea; the opening paragraph clarifies this. There 
are many places where the merits of it are being and have been 
discussed throughout the Wikimedia community (including the talk page 
of this article). If we let the article become bogged down with 
discussion and POV about the merits of the idea then it would become an 
article about "whether or not it should be done", instead of "how could 
be done" (which is the stated purpose of the article!). But it's not 
simply that, Gerard has been wholly reluctant to raise specific issues 
instead using a slash and burn policy complete with emotional language, 
straw man arguments and inappropriate posting of Wikipedia NPOV tags.
