I see it going the other way.

I see WMF-sponsored projects ineluctably morphing into an array of post-modern pre-apocalyptic theaters of the absurd, ranging from Pee-Wee's Play House to Mad Max Thunderdome.

Forgive me if my translation from Moulton-speak is a little rusty, but I'm guessing that you don't think they'll move toward a Lockdown Phase at all, but simply allow the site(s) to qualitatively devolve and deteriorate into an increasingly useless and unreliable state, operated by what will amount to little more than interweb drama factories?

That may be true within certain "trouble spot" content areas, but as long as there's any money behind WP at all, I can't imagine they'd just let it all go to seed like that. Also, remember that after the Lockdown Phase comes the Attrition/Dispersion Phase, which may be more to your liking, endgame-wise.

After all this time, you continue to labor under the illusion that their principal business is building an encyclopedia?
