I'm not sure quite how it would work for new results though, for which it is still not quite clear how they fit into the current knowledge, or if they are worthwhile at all. People also tend to feel really strongly about their own original ideas, and may try to push them forward when they should rather be forgotten. I don't know how to prevent something like that, other than having a BDFL or individual publishing (as in the current system)
