This is where the divide seems to hit. Those who work in the Foundation Office, and receive complaints from the outside world, tend to have a harsher view of things, arguing that all unsourced statements about living people, for instance, should be immediately removed. Those who do a lot of editing without hearing from the outside world tend to find this position untenable and impractical. Worse, they (we?) tend to just ignore it, since the number of people advocating it is tiny, and they haven't really made much significant noise about it yet.
I'm yet to see any meaningful common ground found between these positions, but I'm optimistic we can find a solution.

There's plenty of common ground- this is an immediatist/eventualist split, after all, and we all know that one day the Immediate moment will have become the eventual. (In other words, as time passes and articles improve, this issue will become less and less important until it only makes sense in rare individual articles).
