Bio stubs are among the easiest stubs to write, so they were the low
hanging fruit that everyone picked. Now most of the easy/obvious ones
have been written (as evidenced by the recent statistics on the Nobel
Prize winners), other types of articles are catching up.

One more step along the road to maturity? (I prefer maturity to
completion as a measure - it's vaguely achievable, if nothing else.)
