There's no way this is going to stay optional for wikis - far too confusing having some cross-wiki notifications appear one way and some the other, and there's already been massive problems with turning it on and off. I also can't see it being scrapped altogether, as you have to justify the hours of work you've put into it already. So my money is definitely on this feature eventually being forced onto all wikis, whatever the staff say. How does your "feedback" system work? My guess is, a comment saying "I love this!!!" counts as good feedback, but one saying "I hate this!!" is dismissed as unconstructive criticism - basically, the "for" party merely has to state their position while the "against" party has to justify theirs. But, I guess the "for" party could pick one of the reasons you've listed up here about how great the feature is, whereas you haven't listed any of its drawbacks. Why not have a balanced blog, listing the advantages and disadvantages, to make the feedback process fairer? I can provide disadvantages if you are struggling to recognise them.
