[WikiEN-l] Community ready for Pending Changes (nee Flagged Protection)?

[David Goodman]

There has never been agreement for more than the 2,000. It will be
necessary to ask the community at that point whether to expand ,
continue, or end the trial.  I would not assume that the consensus
will be to expand it-- I frankly haven't the least idea whether  it
will prove a resounding success in all respects  or just the opposite,
so the decision might in fact be non-controversial
