Obviously, really bad articles would be deleted, but most of those are caught by csd. It could liberate the wikipedia, when you think about it. Mergers may become much more likely to happen, since there would actually be a tangible result in merging a draft space article into a main space article. I think it has potential if we do reframe afd along the lines of keeping as a main space article and sending to draft space. Cleanup might happen more often. I'd imagine DRV would become drafts for review. We might have to loosen the grip WP:N has though, or this could become a tool used to keep "relatively" good articles from main space because of "I don't like it". The idea has potential, it just needs a good salesman and a good grip on pitfalls.
