I'll say that I don't think it should be done, because it's basically
lying to the casual editor - giving them the impression they have
edited and their work has gone live, when it hasn't.

It might allow us to present a more polished front, but I don't think
deliberately misrepresenting what happens to the casual editor is a
good idea.
