When I said "lock down" I meant "prevent unauthorized edits". It doesn't matter if that prevention is done through technology or practice--it all amounts to the same thing.
If, as you have said: a) Editing policy pages creates policy b) Those who edit policy pages need not have their edit reviewed by any and all interested parties including (gasp) members of the mailing list.
Does it not follow that anyone can create policy by fiat?
Do you not think thats a bad thing, because I'd bet dollars to donuts that almost everyone else with an interest in wikipedia's success does.
