This leaves us to consider the biggest question:
opt-in vs. opt-out. Erik
and James are both quite smart, they are true Wikimedians, and they make
reasonable points about choosing opt-out over opt-in.
This is the point on which
we fundamentally disagree. Their argument for
'opt-out' is based solely upon the quality and quantity of testing that it
affords to VE. VE is not a mission-critical feature: while we have
concerns about Wikipedia's sustainability, there's no question that it has
survived for years and will survive for years more. The stability of the
site is much more important than testing this code, and the testing
strategy of presenting it as if it was functioning software and seeing
what people did with it wasn't a reasonable decision: it was completely
and absolutely irresponsible.
