Daniel-
Wasn't there a consensus on the IRC channel that the feature was not ready for immediate implementation?
If by "immediate implementation" you mean "put it on the live site ASAP", then yes. As you can see, it's not on the live site.
If by "immediate implementation" you mean committing to CVS, then no.
Do you deny that you then deleted Tim's site-wide switch that turned your feature off?
No. Tim agreed to this deletion because it didn't work in non-English languages.
Regards,
Erik
