I fully agree with you.  That's the point - contents is protected by the
GFDL, what might happen behind the scenes is interesting, but it is not
that important.  After all, democracy is a strong word and, sure, one
must not put bad words on it, but in the end incarnations of democracy
could be astonishing.

Democracy is good for political issues, not for writing an encyclopedia.
