Without talking only about privacy, some wikis could need a permission
system like that.
For example, we are thinking of making a wiki for publishing and share
scientific results. It's in its gestationnal step for now, but for
example, we discussed the fact that when a team will publish a result,
it should be that only authors from the team could modify it. If someone
would ask a complementary information, or ask for something else, we
think he could ask on the discussion page, and that the author would
then modify the page.
That's jsut an example to say that in my opinion too, it won't be bad
that such a system exist.
