It may be acceptable to wait months, but I feel that years definitely isn't acceptable myself. I was irritated when the whole white-listing of MediaWiki pages was introduced because I expected that they'd all be white-listed in a few months, and still not even 100 of those - roughly 13,000 - messages are white-listed today.

I can understand why they've introduced this white-listing thing, but I would have preferred it if non-white-listed pages that had already been created could still be edited, provided they were listed on the system messages list.

The white-listing thing was one of the things that I was frustrated with the most as an admin on a wiki. And yes I was frustrated when I first learned that Discussions was going to replace threaded Forums. But when it became clear that there was nothing I could do to save threaded Forums from discontinuation, I just accepted the situation, in the hopes that Discussions would be improved so that it would someday be a suitable replacement.
