Yes and no. ExpertsExchange was notable for having "walled" responses and was similar to StackOverflow. In fact, I remember when StackOverflow was launched, it was compared to expertsexchange but "open".
It is time to move from centralized services to something more distributed and "micro transaction based". I know a lot of people in HN will dislike this butn All the ones you mentioned (Q&A forum, News link + commenting aggregator, Git Hosting + Approval Flow + Wiki + Ticketing system ) can and should be implemented in a completely distributed manner: (using Kademilla/Bittorrent technologies, IPFS and CryptoTokens for paying micro transactions).
Going 100% distributed is the only way these sort of things are going to stay "open" and free of corporate greed (we have seen time and time again, original founders may start the project with good intentions, but in the long term, the product gets sold and bean counters take the lead).
