Part of me think it would actually turn out ok but I'm also fairly worried that this is in no way what the community approved given that what I got from the discussion was the community fully expected to have to specifically give out the right to review (and there was some considerable discussion about whether or not that right should be given automatically to certain group, the consensus being no). It seems to me the consensus wasn't for this, which appears to be a bit of a semi-protection using Flagged Revisions, but more for something akin to the german version just on specific articles (and so the people who were able to approve would be significantly smaller then "all autoconflirmed users" It isn't to say that this would be totally bad.. just not what was approved. I do have to say that there are a ton of autoconfirmed users who I would not trust to realize they were approving old edits (perhaps vandalism) when they did a small edit. I would also be a bit concerned because if they get approved they would be much more likely to get missed (if it slips through the cracks it can take months to be found unless it is on a popular page).
