I have a lot of sympathy for this position (we have pages in the current 
wiki which are unmodified from the predecessor kwiki in 2005) but in 
practise I think this wouldn't work. We'd end up with two wikis at the 
same time.

I think instead we should think of ways to ensure that stale content 
doesn't detract from the good stuff. Good reporting on interlinking, 
finding orphan pages, web analytics on popularity, etc. may help.
