I see it as pointless too, but sure not as much that someone should
construe a wiki-quitting reason out of this.
It's just a waste of time to watch and revert these anon-policy changes.
Yet another reason to remove these pages from one's own watchlist
(another form of IAR ;-).
It serves more as a honey-pot for vandals, with ensuing potential
collateral damage caused by IP blocks.
But it's probably not that important. I was just a bit astonished to see
that we we cannot semi-protect the policy about semi-protection ;-)
(and WP:FULL should be fully protected! And WP:CSD should b<BZZZZZT> GAAAAH ow
that hurt)
I used to log in to edit the occasional meta-page, thinking I needed a Real
Pseudonym to be Taken Seriously. But then I tried it logged out, and found it
wasn't true, I don't get reverted (any more than I did before).
I'm actually pretty impressed that this is the case.
