They've gated Centraal NS too. The barriers weren't working when I saw
them (a week before Xmas) but it wasn't clear if that's because it was
stupid o'clock, or that they hadn't been commissioned yet.

They were there and powered (I'm pretty sure), but open, all last
weekend.

Since when has NS been introducing gates at Centraal, plus tickets to
be used on them?

The previous time I was there was end of September 2009, and no sign of
anything.

They were busy digging up Centraal in August 2009 and the first couple
of gates were already in place, at the eastern end of the station near
the left luggage.

I guess that this is new. Are they going to do this throughout the country?

I almost never use that entrance. Just the one closest to the IBIS.

For reasons I won't bore you with, I was staying near the station, but
had two days of meetings back at the airport, so I was in and out
several times over a four day period!
