Hey – apologies for the late response (I've just returned from my annual leave).
The AFT team is currently reviewing a number of options to address the moderation workload
issue, which is definitely an important one. So to answer your question: you can safely
consider the feature as "experimental", further decisions will be deferred until
we've tested/discussed different approaches to moderation.
As far as data is concerned, we're going to publish additional analyses/datasets on
feedback volume and moderation activity for the current (10%) sample on top of those
already available via the dashboards, they'll be announced on the lists and on
meta:R:AFT.

Do you have a link to on-wiki consensus for this idea? I was under the
impression that the ArticleFeedback tool was developed as an experiment. It
needs a discussion and on-wiki consensus before being widely deployed,
right? Has that happened?
I asked these questions in September. As far as I can tell, there was no
response to them.
A number of long-time users have concerns about this tool, particularly as
it is quite often used to libel subjects of articles.
Before adding to volunteers' workloads (to moderate and respond to these
comments), I would think it unquestionably requires the consent of the
volunteers, right?
Dario?
