In WikiFeatures, forum/discussions is special because instead of two options (on/off) there are three options by level. Level 2 is discussions, level 1 is forum, and level 0 is neither forum or discussions at all. Well, as has already been stated, newer wikis don't have the option to have Forum. Those that already do apparently are being allowed to keep them for now. So effectively wikis have a choice. Again, having a switch to go between the two at will would be rather chaotic. As for the option to have neither, I am not sure what the purpose of that option would be. The only other option would be Wiki-style forums. But for those wikis that currently have threaded forums, I wouldn't recommend switching to Wiki-style forums over Discussions because the layout etc. is entirely different. Though in practice it would make layout easier to handle. I agree that older wikis shouldn't have forums switched to discussions unless the wiki admins say that they are okay with the change.

For Community Central it looks like we will have to stick with the change because again this wiki always existed and it should be the home of new features tested.
