This seems reasonable to me---en.wikipedia didn't enter a strong
verifiability/citation push until around 1 million articles. Before
that, the focus was on expanding content to a critical mass.
Of course, as a guideline something like this has been used all
along---incredible, surprising, or unlikely statements even in the early
days of Wikipedia had to be backed up with a source, or someone would
remove them.
