The Jargon File is almost entirely the work of others, in particular Guy Steele. ESR's contributions to it were largely self-serving, e.g. the addition of terms like "anti-idiotarianism" which had little usage outside right-wing political circles (including ESR himself, of course), and he hasn't updated it at all since the early 2000s.
