Yes, this transition make sense now.  The original idea behind the
strict hierarchy was to introduce 'wiki discipline'

Unmaintained wikis tend to sprawl into messes because some authors
create pages without looking to see if other similar pages already
exist.  Once the sprawl starts, it quickly gets out of hand.

Now that Fred is tending the wiki and the basic disciple is
established, it makes sense to relax the rules a bit.

Call for help - - If any new participants are interested in learning
more about Sugar and Sugar Labs, a few hours helping Fred tend the
wiki would be a great place to get involved:)
