Granted.  If I knew now what I knew then...  Well, I probably just would
have left sooner.  But the overarching focus of both arb com cases was
surrounding VfD.

As for the correlation of the "oh shit graph" to inclusionism/deletionism:

A restriction of new article creation to registered users only was put in
place in December 2005." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Wikipedia
)

In December 2005, there is a sharp spike in "active editors", and a sharp
decline in 1-year retention.  I would say that is at least partially a
direct result.
