A distributed version of keepgrabbing2.py and a little bit of civil
disobedience on the part of some scholars and wikipedians would go a
long ways towards cutting this particular Gordian knot. (We could
call the project KeepGrabbing@Home --- the search for intelligent life
on THIS planet.)
You may well disagree with this approach. In fact, I see two options;
the other may be attractive. (But I don't see any reason to imagine
that "lobbying" will get the job done.)
The two options:
(1) building an infrastructure that makes the old one obsolete;
(2) or recognizing the non-obsolescence of the old system, and
stealing whatever it has to offer.
Both courses can be pursued in parallel.

And of these shall I speak to those eager, That quality of wisdom that all the wise wish And call creative qualities And good creation of the mind The all-powerful truth Truly and that more & better ways are discovered Towards perfection --Zarathustra.
