rollback there will be a presumed threshold of number of edits and time since account was

been reopened because "only" 50 people participated in that discussion.
To be fair, as more people become aware of this, there will be more
calls for bigger and longer discussions. That is only natural. Rather
then risks continual re-discussion, it should be made clear that
everyone will get the chance to say something at the end of the trial.
And if they don't, well, that will cause huge upset.
The poll was only ever meant to apply to the trial, with the issue open for rethink after
the trial was over. I hope that still happens. I think that's really the usefulness of
the trial - a lot of people are concerned because they are unsure of how exactly it will
work - once we see it working in practice, people are likely may well make up their minds
differently.
