Hm. Now you say it, I think I’ve definitely read some excellent non-Elizier articles on Less Wrong. But not as systematically. Are they collated together (“The further sequences”) anywhere? I mean, in some sense, “all promoted articles” is supposed to serve that function, but I’m not sure that’s the best way to start reading. And there are some good “collections of best articles”. But they don’t seem as promoted as the sequences.
If there’s not already, maybe there should be a bit of work in collecting the best articles by theme, and seeing which of them could do with some revising to make whatever the (in retrospect) best point more clear. Preferably enough bit of revising (or just disclaimers) to make it clear that they’re not the the Word of God, but not so much they become bland.

People have indeed started on this, but we could probably do with more. Go for it :-)
