I'm not going to hash this whole war again. It comes up about once a year 
when someone unfortunately steps in it.

Every time it was discussed, the list membership at large generally felt 
that a wiki was not a good forum for the type of discussion that occurs on 
the mailing list. You are trying to fault the knowledge base because it is 
not a wiki. It was never intended to be a wicki. You are comparing apples 
and oranges. A knowledgebase and a wiki are to entirely different things. 
The knowledgebase was not intended to be a wiki or act like a wiki or fill 
the role of a wiki. And a wiki was decided against.
