I understand that Jared. Just consider it an offer to deploy it on a wiki where there are a few people who also happily reports back in Bugzilla :)

One of Dan's next steps is coordinating with a few language wikis for a ~month long public rollout test period, similar to the way mediaviewer did. I agree with you Erik, that there should be a way to disable for readers, the team is thinking about possible alternatives currently. As well as making sure that logged in users have full control over using hovercards, navigation popups, or turning off link previews all together.
Jan, we can possibly plan on including sverige wiki in the pilot program if that works for Dan and the community there, however the beta feature is really more geared toward content wikis (wikipedia, wiktionary) rather than other wiki types.

The Hovercards Beta Feature [1] is inspired by the Navigation Popups gadget. The goal of Hovercards is to make the reading experience better for our readers. When readers hover over links to other articles, they are provided a short summary and image. They can decide whether they need to visit that subject more fully before continuing the current subject.
We are looking for local project wikis who are interested in turning on the Hovercards feature for all readers, ahead of the future Beta Feature graduation. Please let us know, if your wiki might be interested in this.
We're also looking for additional feedback on all aspects of the extension.[2]

Sidenotes:
- The recent flickering-bug (primarily in Firefox) was fixed today.
- There is a gerrit patch which is examining the conflict of Navigation
Popups and Hovercards. https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/120188/
- We also plan to suggest some potential updates to the styles in the
original Navpopups gadget, so that it has better usability and is visually consistent with Hovercard and Reference-tooltip styles.
