It is delusional to look three, five, ten years into the future.
Wikipedia is and always will be done ad-hoc. It is fine to plan ahead
half a year or a year, but that's it. I will not even spend time to
think about who will write Wikipedia in five years, this is the job of
those who will see themselves as stewards of the project then. I will
most probably not be among them, because I am now contributing for about
four years and can't possibly know what I will do five years from now.
