In my mind, it would make sense to have some sort of "Vote for Freezing" page for articles of this sort. It would be almost the opposite of something like VfD -- an advanced form of FAC, whereby people would vote (and ply some attention on) as to whether an article was good enough to qualify it for this sort of enshrinement. "This article is good enough that it doesn't need people to be able to edit it constantly without discussing changes first," the status of "frozen" would imply. Some standards would need to be developed (a FA which has already run on the main page, another round of peer review, no major rewrites in the past two months, etc.) but it could work out (hopefully). Requests for Unfreezing could be done as well for those who think that an article was problematically frozen in a state which would require more than just the sorts of line edits one can do from a talk page.
Show me an article so good that it cant be improved.
And reverting can be used to do this if you really want.
