Yeah, there's definitely some imbalance that's stripping the main page of content. I think it's pretty conclusive that the intermediate 'top-level-articles-not-promoted' category should just be abandoned and articles should be promoted directly from discussion. But anything that requires code modifications should be ruled out as a reasonable prediction for the short/medium term.
This is a great idea IMO. The easiest way to implement it now is by just removing the option of posting to the toplevel. Make everyone post everything to discussion. Editors already have the power to move selected articles to the toplevel and promote them. Doesn't seem to require much programming, though I'm not an expert on the LW codebase.
There is currently a bug where links to comments in discussion section die when the article moves to the main site.
