Sounds reasonable. You will have to very firmly commit to turning it
off immediately if the vote/discussion goes against it though, as some
will (despite the reasonable explanation given here) see this as a
back-door route to keeping it on by default.
This is definitely not the case. We plan to abide by whatever consensus
emerges.
One question I do have is
how much attention is given to the main talk page at WT:PEND? The
impression I get is that most of the discussion is happening
elsewhere, and some people will miss that discussion if there are not
pointers from that talk pages to the talk pages of the subpages.
I believe this page is getting more attention than WT:PEND:
