I'd like to suggest something which I think should work. Whenever an administrator edits an article, that version automatically becomes the "stable" version that an unregistered reader will see. And it won't have "edit" links all over it. Sure, it might have mistakes and it might have POV, but the odds are that if an admin has had even a glance at it, it's probably good.
I find this attempt to give admins even more power objectionable. There are plenty of us who have been around for a long time without having become admins. Many operate in limited non-controversial areas. The result would be a huge number of articles that will need to be edited by admins; these articles previously managed quite well without involvement of admins.

If a POV warrior wants to they can turn anything into a controversy, but I do agree in part. Stable versions won't scale if they rely purely on admins. Perhaps we can give the privilege to more people and find a way to undo stable versions approved by a user that later turns out to be blocked or otherwise sanctioned for problems so they can be re-checked by someone else.
