Not completely correct when it comes to public computers and mobile IPs.

imagine that once IPv6 is widely in use, this problem will go away
and we'll be able to turn on all notifications (including Thanks) for

1. Why not?
2. A time limit might help resolve that with ipv4 addresses. Alternately,
thanks could potentially be nice even if they didn't make the edit
themselves, since it's the general feeling and such, so just letting that
through for ipv4 addresses might be an option.
Mind I'm mostly just echoing something someone else said on IRC just now,
but they seem like interesting points to me.
