I am at that.  Not so that kids can put goatse on it.  So that
non-admins can refresh the content of In the news, or improve on the
wikification of the featured article blurb, or update the list of

We should find ways to distract and ward off immature kids that do not
restrict everyone else -- and we will! -- but in the meantime we
should find a compromise that let us stop limiting main page updates
to a group of 400 users.
