What annoys me particularly is pretending that this is an experiment. It's not. It's a permanent policy change.
Who's willing to bet that I'm wrong?
I bet it is a permanent policy change because (a) it seems to be working quite well and (b) it is consistent with our commitment to remain open.

Still want to make this bet?

I doubt he does. I'm pretty sure he already said that he's not so enamoured of it now. It'd fit, since banning anons from creating articles is a "hard" restriction, and Jimbo has said he prefers "soft" restrictions, like semi-protection is supposed to be.
Yeah, he said it doesn't seem to be working, and it's not open. So when is this policy change going to be reverted?
A good question. There seems to be a slight majority in favor of repealing that change (if I may be permitted to make a totally unscientific and biased estimate) on this list.
That said, I think most are either waiting for the year (and more importantly, [[Eternal September|September]]) to end, to turn over a fresh lear; or they are waiting for the long promised statistical analyses.
