Your comments reminded me of one of my favorite quotes (immortalized as a
quip in our Bugzilla installation at <https://bugs.wikimedia.org/>):
"creating a wiki is like creating a baby: yes you should have a good
reason to create one, but if you don't for whatever reason, you should
have an _extra_ good reason for killing one." :-)
