You realise, someday the announcement will read:

I'm fine with that - it's inevitable, and so far as I can think, only has three flavors-
- Wikipedia subsumes into whatever may come in future, - Wikipedia becomes whatever may come in future (or specializes into some niche), - or Wikipedia is marginalized (and potentially killed off) by whatever may come in future.
