In my view something is likely to change in the direction of people valuing lists of "missing articles" more, when it is clearer that drive-by creation is getting drossier by the month (which is what that model implies). Of course I can't quantify that: I know it is still easy to come up with sets of 1000 topics that we don't cover at all well, and the total of redlinks is still large.
