If this is truly the root of all urgency we should turn on flaggedrevs.
Try and keep up with marking new pages as patrolled for say half an hour.
In the beginning we would want Google to index only an article's last stable version (if one exists).
After a certain grace period (to keep known-good content from vanishing), we can begin instructing Google to stop indexing articles which have no flagged rev and to de-index existing unflagged revs.
There is no way to do this.
Some users like to nuke every {{third-world-topic-stub}} from geostationary orbit because it is like a video game to them. Faster pussycat, kill, kill, and let no mayfly die of natural causes.
Not so much. Since it is generally fairly easy to argue for the significance of many unwritten third world articles.
Perhaps some of this energy can be channeled toward other tasks.
Experience suggests not.
