I'm not sure that I agree with his assessment that Wikipedia's quality
will necessarily be poor because of all the cruft, but I wouldn't
disregard it.

Wikipedia is operating on the Internet equivalent of the quote often
(mis)attributed to Nathan Bedford Forrest, "git thar fustest with the
mostest."

It's obviously worked in some senses - we have the mostest, and are
farther along than anyone else, at the moment.  But the future may
hold benefits for other models.
