I understand the need for progress. And honestly, the talk pages are something I've always felt like we were just "making work" with wikis. But as has been pointed out, talk pages are not the point of a wiki.

Change is a very difficult for some people; easier for others. So naturally some are going to react more vocally than others. What seems reasonable to me, however, is that this be enabled on a per-wiki basis. What limitations prevent this from being turned on per wiki? If the admins of a wiki request this not be enabled, I would think that you would be happy to assist with that.
