Agree, it's refreshing really. I haven't seen anyone think this is
actually a bad idea, and many people have raised the opinion that anon
restrictions were detrimental since they were implemented. Are we
seriously upset now because someone is taking some initiative? Having
data before a discussion is never a bad thing, and it's not like one
month of anon creation will destroy Wikipedia in any event. We'll
probably get thousands of good new articles (and lots of crap of
course, but hey).
