It's very easy to strip out the data -- one can get the original
markup (?action=source), or the HTML (?action=browse), or even write 
custom markup rules to change the output format to XML.  And since
all of the pages are stored as text files (i.e., not in a database),
it's pretty easy to write scripts to extract things in bulk, if
desired.
