Well, we sort of know already from the stats of these months, though July is
still missing: it is about 30-50 thousands productive (not reverted) edits per
month, so around 150-250 thousands edits sacrificed to this "trial period",
more or less like trashing half of an annual global Wiki Loves Monuments.

By the way, I was told that the search for alternatives to the CAPTCHA was
stuck, with several community members refusing to run a campaign to recruit
vandal-fighters before the CAPTCHA is enabled.

Is there any indication that this trial period with the editing activity killer
enabled will actually be used to trial something and to find new solutions?
I've not checked the local discussions in the last few days.
