Of course the Purpose discussion has been held off and on. The leading CV
designer Ralph Betza on related thinking your own first or second CV is the
best ever is in his comment about Chess Different Armies:
http://www.chessvariants.org/index/displaycomment.php?commentid=614.
Ironically he then goes on to say there Chess Different Armies ought to
replace boring f.i.d.e. chess.
Other purposes to make and display CVs have evolved or self-organized for
example pure artwork or case of Gridlock pure amusement. USA GM (of problems) Vukcevich saw the ultimate replacement by sorting purpose just as Betza: http://www.chessvariants.org/index/displaycomment.php?commentid=18909 and http://www.chessvariants.org/index/displaycomment.php?commentid=18727. As far as Luken's "dogmatism," it is appallingly shabby that supposed leader gm Seirawan expresses surprise or even skepticism that Centaur(bn) and Champion(rn) are 400 years old in early 17th century cv, when he writes about his unimaginative Seirawan Chess. Ignorance of their own history describes most grand-masters. That's another implicit purpose CVPage and offshoot sites, just to tell the true history.
