Yes, in a way it's sad we have so much attention on gatekeeping and 
absolute standards (well, as has been said, high and upwardly mobile 
standards), and so little recognition on great added-value edits, the 
ones which take an article into a different class of usefulness. As far 
as I know the transition from B class to A class is still considered to 
be the most transforming, from the reader's point of view.
