Yes, but as the higher level categories grow, which they do inevitably, that editor eventually runs out of time to properly attend to the subcategories - then a subcategory like "clinical services" (a hypothetical) ends up with maybe 7 or 8 entries, which isn't even a representative sample...

I noted the comment from mikmik re 50 000 sites or pages get added daily to the www - how many of those is DMOZ expected to add? 2000-4000 sites gets added daily to DMOZ (substantially more gets submitted).

...
and that is precisely the point: assuming your figures and mikmik's are accurate and assuming the maximum additions for DMOZ, that means they can index 8% of new sites daily -- they are doomed to fall ever farther behind. I am not trying to imply that the editors aren't working hard - I'm trying to argue that no matter how well-intentioned they are or how hard they work at that single task, the numbers are written on the wall: they cannot do what they are trying to do.
