I think the intention is to have more "inexperienced editors editing articles" (e.g. to fix typos, or correct obvious mistakes, and to become regular editors), since this is one of the priorities determined by the community of Wikimedia wikis.

From Wikimedia Movement Strategic Plan Summary/Increase Participation: Increasing both the total number of editors, and their diversity, is a key priority for the Wikimedia movement. (...) We need to improve the editing interface in order to reduce barriers to participation. When people try editing for the first time, we need to support and coach them. and from May 2011 Update: Two months ago, the Wikimedia Foundation published the results of our new Editor Trends Study (you can read the results here), which showed that over the past several years it's been getting increasingly difficult for people to edit the Wikimedia projects. (emphasis mine) So, I think it is unlikely that "prior discussion" will be ever made into a requirement to edit wiki pages. Instead, the chances are that we will have new easy ways to edit pages (e.g. Extension:InlineEditor, which you can test here) and will get more edits from inexperienced editors
