Without talking only about privacy, some wikis could need a permission 
system like that.

For example, we are thinking of making a wiki for publishing and share 
scientific results. It's in its gestationnal step for now, but for 
example, we discussed the fact that when a team will publish a result, 
it should be that only authors from the team could modify it. If someone 
would ask a complementary information, or ask for something else, we 
think he could ask on the discussion page, and that the author would 
then modify the page.

That's jsut an example to say that in my opinion too, it won't be bad 
that such a system exist.
