Deletionist culture is also a big problem in the Gnome UI. For a long time they were deleting features like crazy. Same goes for Systemd. I think people like deleting features because it's easy and seems like progress. It's a bikeshedding phenomenon. The solution to this is to have a flexible module system so people can have their almost nothing "non-bloated" system and other people can have features. Same could work for wikipedia. You could have the core wikipedia and the alt hierarchy. It could work like usenet.
