As I read the proposal, this is not a relaxation of current policies,
but an increase in the security. Presently, new user must wait 4 days
after registering to edit semi-protected pages. This proposal would
require 4 days plus 50 (or 20) edits.
The most cogent objection, in my opinion, is that it would discourage
new users. (There are other objections that it would not go far
enough to be effective--this may be true, but personally I think that
at least it's a start, and worth trying).

Here's an issue that could probably do with
attention from a wider array of
editors are it will affect anyone who creates an account on the wiki:
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Autoconfirmed_Proposal>
1. Add <!-- MEOW --> to X number of pages
2. Wait X days
3. Get blocked.
Though maybe a better solution for less obvious cases would be "3. Get
put on dontautoconfirm"
