We have buckets and buckets of hard data that says this change will harm the
encyclopedia.  The fact that it was ignored by those who push for this change
doesn't make it any less relevant or accurate.  If you somehow missed it the
previous fifty times we published it, I suppose you can find yourself a stack
of links to it by reading the latest Signpost; it was a big topic at Wikimania. 

This change will damage (and possibly kill) the encyclopedia.  It's sheer folly
to even suggest it - EVEN AS A TRIAL.  

And what a lot of new page patrollers seem to miss is this: If the workload is
so high, why are you so intent on eliminating the funnel of potential new
patrollers?  It's a weird form of self-harm going on here.
