Thank you for confirming that English Wikipedia does not have a choice in whether or not this tool is deployed on our project.
There have been two massive polls in the English Wikipedia already on Pending Changes.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Pending_changes/Closure
and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Pending_changes/Straw_poll_on_interim...
In both these polls, strong majorities _opposed_ disabling the feature, which is why we haven't turned it off. All we're doing is keeping the software running and making fixes we know need to be made. The process for the English Wikipedia community to determine what it wants to do with this technology, if anything, continues.
