Agreed with Matt. I wasn't involved in the discussions referenced, I think, but my opinion is that you cannot simply give people a boolean option on this kind of thing. "firehose of sewage or nothing" means a lot of people are going to go for "nothing", at which point we've sort of undermined the entire system.

I'm fine with either of these choices, but we have to actually reach some kind of consensus on this.
From where I'm standing, I think there should be sane defaults, but each notification type should be separately configurable.
If not, you risk people turning everything off, or worse, using the wiki less.
