MZ: you mean removing just for account creation right? There is also a
CAPTCHA delivered on external link addition for some editors–I think IPs
and users not autoconfirmed. This is probably a lot more important for
combating spam.

Let's measure the impact.
We disabled the CAPTCHA entirely on
test.wikipedia.org a few weeks ago.
The wiki seems to be about the same. It probably makes sense to continue
slowly disabling the CAPTCHA on wikis until users start to shout. Perhaps
we'll disable the CAPTCHA on the rest of the phase 0 wikis next?
