Well at least so far, it seems that there have been two effects:

1. fewer crappy pages created
2. the ones that are create are as easy to identify as ever, since some
of the anons are converting into 'anonymous redshirts' (i.e. users with
no userpage).

It will be interesting to try and gather some statistics about all this,
so we can proceed with actual data.
