Well indeed. I had BNA access via the Wikipedia Library once, and very useful it was. The selective quotation from the BL blogpost Andy gave was unhelpful, as far as that is concerned. The BNA is now managed by Findmypast [1] for the BL. The argument that subs are needed to plough back into further and faster digitisation is an obvious one. The counter-argument that some Wikipedia Library accounts might well lead to a net increase in subs is valid (recently I got myself given one, as a birthday present).
