Except it wasn't - and the result is widespread craziness, and only the developers (or the Foundation for which they work) can switch it off. Thats why its on this list. It was switched on based on an incorrect reading of the will of the community, and it should be switched off until a better sense can be obtained.

I don't understand, the developers regularly enable new features with seeking (uneeded) consensus. For example, when they enabled cascading protection we gradually worked out the rules and methodology for it. We're doing the same thing with rollback with just a whole lot more fanfare

Funny you should say that, since there was no consensus to switch it ON and that smooth move has turned into the disaster we have now. You've already argued a hundred times in other places that despite
the
lack of consensus to do it, undoing it requires a new consensus. I'm not claiming consensus in either direction, I'm claiming common
sense.
Since its an epic disaster, it should be put on hold until the
issues
around it can be resolved.

Yep. If this had been added just like undo/cascading protection, there'd have been a lot less complaining and moaning. We'd have just got on with
it
like sensible people.

The only people causing the craziness are the people loudly complaining on the talk pages. Everyone else is just getting on with it.
