interesting discussion. i guess i tend to think that there is nothing
lost by trying it open first (as we do for fm now) - keeping the pathway
open for as many contributions as possible - and then raise the
threshold if problems arise (so far I haven't seen any problems arise). 

one very real issue is that we don't yet really have the tools to assist
this 'variable threshold' since fm is built on the premise that
everything is open.

im trying to imagine the tools that might enable this...anyone have
thoughts on this? or do we leave this to the culture of the
maintainer/or book contributors to moderate this socially/culturally...
