-10. It would mean the death of Wikipedia. Wikipedia will become a
second Dmoz, where nobody registers because it takes hours and hours to
register. It's easier to become a member of the secret service than
registering with Dmoz. That's not what we want.

Second, it would solve nothing.

Goodbye.

In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of
unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the
military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of
misplaced power exists and will persist.
