This is a terribly bad idea, if you consider the Curry-Howard-correspondance between proof and programm, and the constructive logic approach of proof by construction. That's a stretched metaphor, perhaps, but it's very real, considering that one often waits how things play out.

Just like wikipedia let's everyone edit, see how it turns out, and revert later--which can be messy or impossible if several legit edits were made meanwhile.
