I'm still wondering, when the call was made to disable this option, was

It wasn't decided. There was a bug with the user preference where the
label
on the preference was incorrect. In order to fix this, the option was disabled.
That's a de facto decision isn't it? Somebody figured flipping that switch without discussing it with the wikis first was a good idea. The question still stands: if they didn't expect this fall out, why not, and if they did, why keep quiet?
