"Anyone can edit" is false if anons can't edit. Theres a lot of
people who
would just walk out if that became true.
Analysed at that level, the promotional statement is already
untrue. Blocked users and users of blocked IP addresses cannot
edit. At a more extreme level, those with no access to the
Internet cannot edit.
In my opinion, preventing anonymous edits makes the project no
less open as long as registration is unrestricted.
This one comes up again and again, and the consensus has always
been "nope,
anon edits will continue thanks."
