I probably agree with you.  But there is pretty strong opposition to
Wikipedia being a phone book, a knowledge base, a geneology website,
or a memorial website, though I think these all fit clearly within the
scope of Wikimedia (and in fact much of "What Wikipedia is not" does).
 I seriously doubt the scope of Wikipedia is going to be expanded to
include these things.
