Diego, that is definitely what we're thinking about for the subscriptions options -- giving users the ability to choose whether they want to subscribe to every new thread, or just get a notification that a new thread has been created. The balance that we have to figure out is how to provide options on that page-by-page level without forcing people to go through two clicks every time.
Right now, the list of items on the roadmap is on the Mediawiki Flow page. [1] We're not enforcing a strict centralized place for discussions right now; they're happening in a few different places. I'm going to be talking with the Community team later this week to see what we can do about that. I think the EE mailing list [2] is probably the best place to see what's current and talk with the team.
We'll probably be tackling the subscription/notifications question in more detail in a few weeks. Right now, we're working on Hide, the Table of Contents, Search and the LiquidThreads transition. There's a lot to do! But we'll definitely be getting back to notification options before too long.

And then you have people like me who see them as *both*, just not for the same pages. I've suggested that some topics and boards should raise notifications and not others, depending on how important each topic is for the user.
At least one other editor suggested that this could be done with a check ("notify me of updates for this board") to be selected on the pop-up that appears when you add a topic to your watchlist. Is there someone taking note of all these scattered suggestions in a central place where they can be discussed?
