Britannica has been editing and rewriting and adding to their 
encyclopedia for two hundred and thirty-seven years now, with no sign 
that they're planning to stop changing stuff and publish the "Final 
Encyclopedia" any time soon. Why do you think Wikipedia is likely to 
start reaching an "endpoint" any time in the forseeable future? I think 
a version-rating method is probably vital in the near future to prevent 
our best articles from backsliding, we've become good enough in many 
areas that IMO this is a real concern. But we're nowhere near "done," 
and since the corpus of human knowledge is itself constantly changing I 
doubt we ever will be.
