A thought... there are numerous people who love "peeping" in (really) old encyclopedias, if only to "get the feeling" of what was common knowledge or beliefs at that time. I wonder if for our 10th annniversary, or for 2010, we could not isolate part of Wikipedia content to get a sort of official shot of knowledge in year 2010 and preserve this version nicely for the future. We might scrap really minor articles, or stubs, but keep the rest of it. The idea not being "dump of 2010" but more a sort of historical tool, to be really cool to dig in by 2020 or 2030 (or later).
No reason not to make it a complete snapshot. Like Nostalgia Wikipedia.
