The idea is that full protection can be slowly
deprecated and any

Okay, but what about edit wars, and other cases of "Well, it isn't
*really* vandalism, but people are distracting themselves from being
constructive here."? I envision a future where semi and full
protection is more anti-edit war, forcing people to use the talk page,
and flagged protection is more anti-vandalism.

"Full-flagged protection" allows anyone
to edit, but only admins
(*not* "reviewers") to approve; I would assume conventional
complete-lock will remain for stuff we don't *want* edited, such as
the main page.
Jimbo has said he'd love to have flagged revisions applied to the main
page specifically so it can be edited by anyone. The idea is that full
protection can be slowly deprecated and any page at all can be open to
improvement by anyone.
