I'm not a moderator on this list nor do I want to pretend to 
be, but FYI, this list is primarily for talking about the 
installation and development of Mediawiki and topics related 
to that.  Not for the "debate and discussion" on Wikipedia 
that you're trying to spark...  This is mentioned here: 
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Mailing_lists

If you are new on this list, you can scan the archives to 
get an idea of the types of postings that are made.

IMHO, Mediawiki is the tool and not as related to the 
question you are asking as you think.  It would be like 
asking the people who came up with the MP3 standard why 
music companies disallow music sharing ... kind of asking 
the wrong people...
