[WikiEN-l] Autoconfirm for uploads to en.wp

[Erik Moeller]

I'm sorry for being behind the curve on this, but could someone point
me to a discussion or policy explaining when & why the requirement to
be autoconfirmed in order to upload files was created? Doesn't this
just shift whatever problem it tries to solve to Commons, which
doesn't have that restriction?
