Yes, the cost (for authors) of having something published with a qualification is intended to widen their range of options beyond publish-reject as well as to protect the journal's reputation... all virtual so far, practice will follow.

As for your question: essentially we will publish anything, as

is accompanied by 'signals' regarding relevance, quality etc: 

as 

said previously the cost of publication or rejection 
is intended to be borne by the author. 

Having trouble understanding this: how does 'cost of rejection' 
fit with
'we will publish anything'? And is the 'cost' here meant to mean
the reputational cost of having bad work published with negative 
reviewsrather than just being rejected, or is there some other 
kind of cost
intended?

I'm not trying to reopen old debates, just having trouble 
finding the
conclusions looking through the list archives.

Thanks
