I still don't really agree with your characterization, but that's OK
as you say. I do totally understand where you're coming from. If you'd
like to get quick feedback or help from WMF regarding alternative
publishing approaches, don't hesitate to contact me directly and I'll
see what we can do.  Philosophically, I don't think the approaches of
semi-automated generation and manual development are mutually
exclusive and indeed, can build on each other or at least complement
each other usefully.
