The Quetico Park hopes to have the reservation system operating in early 2011.  As soon as it is up and running we'll all be able to reserve permits for the season, even 5 months in advance if it's February and you want to book a trip in July.

The first come first served is for these transition months of fall and winter camping reservations where they are needed. Just a short time from now until the service is up and running, early 2011.

It shouldn't affect any of the Quetico Park permits since it wasn't too long ago when we couldn't start reserving any permits until January when all of them became available.  The first few days of the new reservation service might be busy but after that I bet it will be back to normal, or normal before this last year anyway.
