If we do decide to turn it off, perhaps we should decide ahead of time what
statistics we'd like to watch, and collect them for a month or two ahead of
time. Things like current rate of new article creation, rate of speedy
deletes, average number of people doing new pages patrol per day,
stress-level of new pages patrollers.... ;)
If we do that this time, we'll have some real figures to go by to judge
what the difference is with anon page creation off and on.
