Well said. The issue isn't the feature itself; the issue is forcing it upon Wikis without the option to turn it off. If it is simply made optional instead of mandatory, then I don't think the Wikis that oppose it would have that much of an issue with it. If it is made optional to Wikis, then I think you wouldn't have as many users angry with it.

I know there are Wikis that do want it, but many do not, and I think the staff should listen to all voices regarding this (and I sincerely hoping they are). If Wikis had the option to turn it on or off, then I, as well as my Wiki, would be satisfied.
