I don't think there is (or can be) consensus about that. However,
Jesse's objection is fairly widespread also, and it is not specific
for wiki.python.org, or MoinMoin, but opposing Wikis as general.

By nature (quick-quick), information is unorganized in a Wiki. This is
what wiki advocates cite as its main feature, and wiki opponents as its
main flaw.
