Agreed. This smells, ever so slightly, like a publicity whitewash. "Lookit me, I'm just a regular taxpaying baby-maker."
Wales's past history is
not consistent with this stuff. As you might recall, he has one other child,
who was not waved around in public in this manner.
He is doing it to engender sympathy, probably at the suggestion of WMF people charged with
improving his tattered public image. As if letting Wikipedia go to shit at the same time could be
"validated" with his new baby.
For anyone who
doesn't think Jimbo is creepy, look thru his
personal blog for a while.
Gee, he sure spends a lot of time babbling about Wikia. The Great Lion Of Free Culture wants to make
a quick and dirty buck.
That said, enough said.
