maybe it's not that big a problem...?
Probably higher than that, to be honest, especially with all those
Wikipedians running around, dealing with Special:Uncategorisedpages,
and correcting stub templates and so forth.
Also don't forget about vandals just blanking a (categorised) page, plus
the immediately following revert.
