Yes, but newcomers aren't expected/instructed to read those. They are expected to be familiar with the Core/Major Sequences, which are all by Eliezer Yudkowsky and are not incrementally updated.

Another way of putting it: When an LWer tells a newbie to "read the Sequences," that list is not the Sequences they are talking about.

The Sequences should be reorganized. It would be rational to admit that most new readers will not read all the articles (at least not now; later they may change opinion), so we could have a short list, a medium list, and a long list of articles. And even the short list should contain the best articles written by other authors.

Well, it's a wiki, anyone can edit it. Also anyone can make their suggested list of "Short Sequences" and put it to discussion for comments.
