will interact with namespaces, and particularly the stable namespace.
I think we need to have some manual control over what goes into the
stable namespace, so that we can be sure that the people approving
articles for the stable namespace actually know what they are talking
about. It may be that people with enough KP should be trusted to only
approve articles on subjects where they have actual experience, but we
may still want some kind of manual check in place for that function.
Golly, I hope we don't have to resolve that issue in order to resolve
Jimbo's issue. I have more than enough on my plate as it is! :-) If you
want to hold forth on the issue, though, please do on

Many people have already made several good proposals and some surprisingly
:-) polite debate has been ongoing for some time now.
