Yes. And while you might be right with "pages" being more important than
"attachments", that distinction will simply go away in moin2.

Then we would need to say that some content-types are more important
than others. BUT: that depends on how you use the wiki.

I know people who have much content in PDF and Office documents uploaded
into a wiki, I guess they would rather see these files being more
important than the wiki page.

Just keep in mind that it is not ready for production and still seeing
heavy changes. But feedback and contributions are of course very
welcome!
