Google is NOT read-only after it crawls the whole world

A search engine is naturally a whole different and more distributable
(see grub) thing that a database-centric wiki.
There is a company namend Akamai out there, and as far as I know, they
distribute websites like CNN and Microsoft, which are (especially the first)
updated frequently, and have some feedback features etc. So theoretically it
might be possible to use distributed servers for the WP. And in the long term
it might be a good idea, too; all the Wikipedias are growing fast, and have
users from all over the world.
However, my guess is also that this would require *a lot* of rewriting of the
software, so at best this can be a long-term option. But not one I'd dismiss
right away.
