Wherefore art thou?

[Estu]

FYI, "wherefore" means "why". As in, "why are you named Romeo (Montague)".

Although we use "wherefore," if at all, as a synonym for "why," Juliet uses the word in a more limited sense. By "wherefore?" Juliet means "for what purpose?" If she had merely asked "Why art thou Romeo?" she wouldn't be distinguishing the two major meanings of "why"—"from what cause" (in the past) and "for what purpose" (in the future). "Wherefore" clearly emphasizes the latter sense, which is why "whys and wherefores" are different things.

I think his point was it doesn't mean 'where'.

And perhaps I meant "for what purpose" when using the word.

In that case, it's so that Kunark content can be exposed to a greater volume of use than it would be with just developers accessing it, with the hope that this will help errors be more speedily identified.
