Still better, simply create a new namespace for this additional feature, as has already been suggested before. This namespace could, for example, be "User Wall:". Then, let each user choose which of the two available features (talk pages and walls) he wants to use to be contacted. There, all problems solved.

Another problem I see coming up on the horizon is that one day, people down in the evil Wikia lair of doom will think: "Hey, we've got this crazy-cool feature of letting people auto-follow their conversations - why don't we extend that to article talk pages?" - and, pronto, we will lose any proper way of discussing article content (especially when it comes to wikiformatting) where it should be discussed, its talk page.
