Yep. I, for one, am quite apprehensive about what this
will mean in
practice. My real fear is that anonymous editors will become even more
marginalised and the rate of new editors will slow further. However, I
have no concrete basis for thinking this, so I'm keeping quiet about
it.
It might be interesting to examine the trend on de.wp - here, the net
drop in IP edits seems to have been part of an overall long-term
trend.
