Hurmf, such authoritarian design. Force the site owner to maintain such lists,
That's an *option*. Nobody forces the site owner to even set it. People listed there will probably be 2-3 administradors which have file access anyway. It's not intended for anyone to be able to subscribe there. In such case, $wgUsersNotifiedOnAllChanges should point to a mailing list.
and not allow users to say if they want to be blackmailed into needing to examine each change if they wish not to be cut off from knowing about the next change. Hurmf.
Why would you want to know about the next change if you didn't pay a ttention to the current one to begin with? You are free to ignore them and then review a week worth changes in all articles that piled on your inbox. If the only option were to send an email regardless if you viewed the previous one or not, you would get complaints both from users and system administrators about being too much emails. Anyway, if you deem this an important feature you can fix that ganstering and send us your patch so that no more owners get blackmailed by the evil mediawiki.
