I think that there would be user value in having available a human-reviewed WP derivative of some sort.
I see the logical process as being a separate project. It could be a WP project, or another outside project. Not a fork, but a grooming process for articles. All contributions made at WP, versions found to be stable and useful then "promoted" to live on otherPedia.
With a million items in the wikipedia, there would be a strong tendency for the groomed version to get way behind, and if that happens most users won't use it, why would anyone assist in the grooming?
There may be a reason why they would, but a big advantage of timeouts is that that can't really happen.
