If "stepping back" means banishing the topic from Wikipedia, then I would consider such a precedent potentially very harmful.
I don't see it being banished, I see Jimbo saying let's all walk away and come back if anyone still cares in a year. What's the rush? My view is that no topic should be added until at least a year after it happens, in order to allow formation of a proper perspective, there is no rush to scoop anyone.
