Of course any effort to make article source more readable meets with
opposition - in the case of references in particular.  And not only from
those who cite CITEVAR legitimately, but from at least one admin who
will block for putting references in numerical order.  These are the
sorts of things which would not have lasted long in (admittedly slightly
mythical) Good Old Days

Unfortunately, even this admin has some justification for what he's doing: he probably encountered someone who was using reordering to introduce subtle vandalism (since it can't be checked in diff).

Again I see that part of the problem is that there are too few people guarding too much content, but I don't see what to do to change this.
