It's apparently worse than that (which I hadn't realized until I re-read the transcript). It sounds like it's just going to generate little warning icons for "bad" facts and not lead to the recording of any new facts at all.

I know Freebase is deemed to be nasty and unreliable, but is MusicBrainz considered trustworthy enough to import directly or will its facts need to be dripped through the primary source soda straw one at a time too?
The primary sources tool and the extension that helps us check against other databases are two independent things. Imports from Musicbrainz have been happening since a very long time already.
