As long as we don't start giving newcomers a false sense of appreciation or accomplishment, which will end up hurting them more in the future, as opposed to letting them know right away what they may have make mistakes on.
This doesn't mean newcomers shouldn't be praised when they *do* accomplish something genuine and good.

Naw, let's trick em. Let's pretend to be friendly and appreciative for at least two years.

I really dislike it. Socialization should be an implicit function of the website software, not an explicit one.
It's nice, but is there a particular reason it's been implemented as an Extension? It seems like it would have been much simpler to use a Gadget (as I believe it was before) then other Wikimedia sites could pick it up easily without needing developers to make config changes.
