So far as I remember, during the UseModWiki days there were no restrictions
on editing for a good while. Only after extended debate did Larry lock the
front page.
I believe it is false to claim that restrictions on editing have always been
used.
In those days you had to send an email to someone (I forget who) with
an image attached to add an image to a page. That's a restriction
isn't it?
