For the record, I very strongly support this. This is due to the fact that almost all, not just most, new pages created by anons on the English Wikipedia are borderline to complete crap.
That is simply incorrect. I do (or did, until this policy change) new-pages patrol on a regular basis, and I'd estimate no more than ~30% of new pages created by anons are "complete crap". Certainly no more than 10-20% ever warranted speedy deletion.
