To quote from the movie "The Right Stuff" (perhaps misquote, so sue me)
"The issue here isn't pussy, it's monkey."

The administration and the tech folk are still treating the folks who are going
to ride the rocket as not in charge, and that has to change. A fork or
whatever, but this simply cannot be allowed to stand. *We* edit wikipedia.
Not Sue or Erik or Jimbo, or the Board (least of all).We do it.

There is another famous movie quote. "Build it and they will come."

Welll there is an obverse side to that coin. "Tear it down, and they won't
come anymore."
