To attempt to end a many-year-old edit war, I have indefinitely full-protected the article [[Views of Lyndon LaRouche]].
This all hinges on the word "indefinitely".
Did you simply mean "without taking advantage of the (comparatively new) feature which allows the protector to specify an expiration date"?
Or did you mean "such that the protector intends for it to remain protected until the cows come home?"
The latter would be, as Anthony has put strikingly into perspective, an outrageous alternative to blocking the edit warriors (who will undoubtedly reconvene themselves on a different page).

I intend to leave the protection on until we are able to otherwise effectively terminate the ongoing edit war.
I hope and expect not to have to enter the dairy industry in my retirement.
But I don't know precisely what shape or what schedule to expect for the more permanent fix for this particular edit war.
