What bugs me is that in the list of things that need doing around Wikipedia, this was not even in the top 100,000. It's being done not because it needs to be done so urgently, but because the existence of it chaps some peoples' hides, for one reason or another.
Any individual copyvio is not likely to be in the top 10,000 an attitude that we followed for some years. However eventually we reached the point where enough people decided it couldn't be ignored any longer and so finally started to sort it out. The deletion of bad jokes and other deleted nonsense is simply a continueing part of this process.
