Thread:Talk:Requests for comment/Page protection as a component/gated wiki pages/reply

I've reverted your change to the RFC; please feel free to justify the deletion further, or better yet make changes or restructure without deleting the text.

The paragraph gives a concrete example of a feature which, in order to make sense, would basically have to disable a large portion of core functionality in order to work properly, so I see it as an appropriate statement among a list of shortcomings that my patch is designed to address. The built-in protection model is opposed to gated trunk because it prevents editing and creation of certain titles, neither of which should happen in gated trunk. In other words, if a person does write the gated trunk extension, it will have a lot of code which has nothing to do with gated trunk, but only exists to reverse the changes made in the name of page protection.
