Hmm, one think I'm certain on is that the default revision for anons should be stable and for users, the current version. I don't want the user base to become complacent and not check the current version much. It's very important to keep the current revisions the main focus as well as RC patrol, watchlist.
That's also what I think. Furthermore, I don't believe that the userbase would accept not seeing the current version anymore by default. I consider IPs and users seeing different versions by default a minor point in comparison.
As for making it a preference, maybe later, but that seems to introduce more features and complexity than I'd like. Preferences are already a tad bloated.
I fully agree. We should finish the current proposal and get the thing on the road.
Thinking about this, maybe our problem could be solved simply by a site notice? After we actually start this on a wiki, a site notice would be a reasonable thing anyhow, linking to pages that explain the new icons and concepts. Then, we could work with the design as proposed?
Bye,
