Locking edits for featured pages.
I don't understand locking featured pages from edits. I understand locking a winning page for a while to preserve it in all its glory for a time. However, locking a "featured page" forever is to deprive forthcoming generations of wikiality denizens of thoughtful additions to our worldly knowledge. By locking our pages, are we no different that the Amish, who have arbitrarily chosen to freeze time in the 1830's?

Methinks a 30 day edit-lock should be in place from the time an article is featured, after which, improvements should be allowed.
