At some point during each cycle -- and this happened in earlier
releases of Fedora too, as far back as I can remember -- the wiki
became less useful as a canonical point of content.  The final
freezing of the beats and the pressing of POT seems like that point to
me.

Might we be better served at this point by simply clearing the beats,
and referring each page to Bugzilla to file bugs for any remaining
problems?  I'm not married to the idea, just wanted to put it out
there for consideration.
