Great list, pretty conclusive. All the big names I can think of are on it. But I would add the following.

The long haul: time and distance in D&D by Joseph Manola

The Proairetic Code and Player-Driven Mystery in the Sandbox by Chris Kutalik

What is a Dungeon Crawl? by Gus L

Exploration Play by Gus L

Your Demon Lord Doesn't Need That Many Hit Dice by Joseph Manola

I think Gus and Joseph really are the guys who can explain oldschool roleplaying to people not already familiar with it.

Also nice to see Grognardia agreed with my main thesis on how D&D went bad back in 2008. :p
