If testing this new feature does NOT cause the

it will degrade performance in the initial phase", and I believe him.
Magnus is one of the three people whom we all trust the most at
Wikipedia. If he says there's no risk in a live test of a new feature,
then I say there's no risk.
Tim Starling, do you agree?

1.)Try this on one of the smaller languaes
2.)try it around 3am on a monday
