Yes, of course it's important to improve quality, espacially now when en: has reached an unbelievable high number of articles, but I don't think you'll reach 100k of FAs without easing the requirements for an article to be featured, even if you go for it for three years. Let's explain: English WP has now exactly 1118 featured articles on 1,395,220 total
The current FAC process is known not to scale and is not expected to scale, which is why I'm not assuming it. Also, its requirements have been deliberately tightened - the Featured Article Criteria haven't changed, but the FA process's expectations have been ramped *way* up specifically to keep the numbers down.
