And, the idea is to experiment with some alternative approaches in parallel with the existing deployment, not to scrap the existing deployment and start over immediately. We don't know yet which reader feedback mechanisms are going to be the most useful to meet the two core objectives (engaging readers as much and as usefully as possible in article development, and measuring change-over-time in quality).
