Still, it is more consultation than was had for some previous changes,
but, when you propose tshowing the unreviewed pages only to
reviewers. do you mean
I. Not letting anyone see an unreviewed edit unless they have reviewer status
or,
II. Showing the unreviewed pages _by default_ only to reviewers, but
still letting anyone, logged in or not , see them easily if they want
to
If you mean the first, there is no point even bothering for the sake
of the enWP community, what ever other communities may wish to use it,
because I am quite sure that consensus at enWP will be very firmly
against it. It is truly and directly contrary to the principle of open
editing as I think we see it.
If you mean the second, I hope you are aware there was just barely
consensus to have this at all, under the very strongly stated promise
that it would only affect the general non-logged in users, and that
anyone who was actually joined the project would _always_ see the
current version, reviewed or not, whether or not they could change it.
Trying to change this by developer action is unacceptable without
going back _first_ to the community, where it will be probably voted
down unless _you_ have a very strong argument. The burden is on you to
provide the argument, not on us to find one that will convince you not
to do it. This is not what I think the community meant by agreeing
that it should be improved for further testing.

A few of us (Brandon, Alolita, and I) had a
conversation about
clearing up the more vague items on the Pending Changes roadmap

and we'd like to get some further feedback on what we discussed.
Was the Wikimedia community invited to join this conversation?
Yes, at Thu, Oct 7, 2010 at 8:28 PM
There's a large difference between inviting the community to provide
feedback on the conclusions you've privately reached and engaging and
including the community in the substantive development process.
If you can't understand that difference, it indicates a deep and fundamental
flaw.
