The reality was that most vandals were anonymous users, and there will probably be much less vandalism now that they won't be able to edit. After all, not as many people will vandalize if they have to go to the trouble of creating an account. However, I still feel bad for the anonymous users who did make useful edits. That seems like the only downside to this policy change.
