I agree completely that the outcome is really up to the community. But 
personally, it's my hope that this will open things up. Certainly the 
articles selected for initial trial of this represent an opening, in 
that all the users who could edit before still can, and the ones that 
couldn't can now easily propose edits, ones that are likely to be accepted.
