Yeah, I had also recently thought the Wikimedia Foundation is not working 
toward information freedom as such; freedom to edit is exercised, but not to 
redistribute, modify, and merge back. Interestingly, I think resolving this 
could also improve editing experience and editor retention. 

I had written a small spec about making merging stuff between different wikis 
possible. This is what git does, and is a key driver of software freedom. More 
details here:
