Yes but there goes keeping track of who is editing pages, signing
comments, etc. Also you lose some privileges depending on your setup.
For instance if I can't log in I can't move or delete a page.

I CAN log in. I said, I can edit and save as I'm used to doing.
After I log in, when I go to edit a page, I get the normal editing page but
with an error message, like this:
----
Editing TREEBANKING GUIDELINES

Sorry! We could not process your edit due to a loss of session data. Please
try again. If it still doesn't work, try logging out and logging back in.

I do my editing and preview, which works as it should, and then I save the
page, which works as it should. When I look at the history, my edit shows
with my name on it.
But, as I said, the very fact that the error message is coming up is a sign
that something is going wrong, as well as a nuisance.
