Can the review system be fixed?
@DavidPostill - no, we're allowed to make mistakes; which are hopefully caught by multiple reviewers.

Frankly, after about my 3rd 'stop look & listen' over a period of about a year I just gave up reviewing. I clear most of the queue daily on Ask Different where I've got 27k rep, but here I can do without the feeling that your every move is being scrutinised & no good turn goes unpunished.

Two long answers disagreeing with each other - how to canonicalize?
That's fair - as @BenN says, citations would remove doubt in this instance.

You also have the option of retracting the 'correct answer' flag & applying it to another answer.

Proposed OS X Wiki changes
@Braiam - if a question is tagged 10.6, then answer will often not be the same as if it were tagged 10.10 Not having the tags makes the first comment "What OS?" Having the tags allows someone to tag osx and Yosemite or 10.10 to make search, classification & answer more coherent.

Synonymise tags [osx-el-capitan] & [osx-10.11]
Maybe it's just me.... my OCD tells me we need synonymised tags for all OSes ;)

Looks like they already are in superuser.com/tags - but 8, 9 & 10 are missing altogether

Can I ask historical questions?
@KevinPanko - well, that's the 'old' paradigm - no-one was disputing that users have thought that was a good idea since the dark ages; I was commenting on public perception of the 'new' paradigm.

Very colloquially, I think the public perception of the 'new' paradigm could be from Mavericks, where it first became obvious to the smarter user that the system wasn't housekeeping in the old way by handing back RAM after an app quit, instead hanging onto it in case it was needed again, ie faster than fast cache. Yosemite improved this to the point where a 16GB machine can appear to be 'using' all its RAM all the time... yet is significantly faster in operation than Mavericks was under those conditions.
