I'm not so sure, but of course this is something for us all to keep in
mind.  Certainly, wiktionary is now maturing into something that it
could never have been without being separate from wikipedia, and so
having a separate reference work makes complete sense there.

For sep11, well, yes, it's not so great and it was a weak compromise
and we should do something about it.
