The infuriating parts are 1) re-centralization of a de-centralized idea and 2) withdrawal of standardized means for (programmatically) reading and writing content. If someone wants to make a pretty website that's fine (I couldn't care less), but don't do it in such a way that it makes it artificially hard to publish or access information.

It looked a lot like this. The wayback machine seems only able to cough up things back to a year or two later after I'd gotten *most of* the stakeholders at LANL to at least *think about* what the relevance of their charter was to the Web (or vice-versa).
