Yeah, it's all imperfect. What I mean is, that's a bit of process for
a particular purpose, and if we need it with flagged revs as we do
with full protection, then we can reintroduce it when we do. I think
the lack of visible reward will be helpful in dealing with everyday
edit warriors. (If people with the reviewer bit edit-war with it, one
or both is likely to get a strong word at the very least.)
