I could go for that. Ending the controversy (how do the British manage to pronounce that like they do?) certainly is appealing. Unfortunately, it would likely spark a new controversy (and there is some point to being able to approve nodes but not FP them, especially for poor-quality anonymous nodes).
I think part of the problem is that the help pages still reflect the "front page is for special nodes" idea that was the original intent but doesn't match the reality that came to be. If we correct that so the "front-page most nodes" idea can keep hold, then the controversy should decrease.
BTW, I'm happy to note that it has been a long time since I've heard arguments about approving one's own nodes, so the "effort to reduce the recurrent moaning and gnashing" appears to have worked.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
