I think that might be overstating it...

My understanding was that the most recently decided-on version (which
is admittedly not precisely what we're getting) was *not* based on a
consensus to restrict it to BLP articles.

BLPs are quoted a few times as examples, and they're certainly
expected to be a large portion of the workload of this, but none of
the recent plans have explicitly aimed for such a restriction.
