Yes. The objections are "this is noteworthy for having x thousand
downloaders and a busy forum." But no note outside of that. There's
typically (I say *typically*) little evidence that anyone who doesn't
already know about the project would ever, ever look it up.

The YCombinator thread has a comment pointing out that they want to
get into Wikipedia precisely *because* it isn't a random-crap bucket.
No-one has as a checklist item "make sure there's a Knol about our
project."
