Yes, the infobox thread is great! Users are not only given the opportunity to share their opinion, but also read other viewpoints and publicly discuss ideas with other users, which isn't the case for the Council group (the majority of the community doesn't know at all what is voiced by the council members). The best thing is that many of the ideas the users shared in the infobox thread are really implemented into the core. Furthermore, users are able to provide direct feedback and point out bugs/issues while still in the development phase, allowing the devs to address them without affecting too many wikis/users.

So I agree with Joseph and hope more features changes/developments will be treated the same way in the future.
