I said this during the retrospective about beta features. I think all beta
features should be enabled for all logged in users the month before they
get deployed. Let's not resort to banners please.
Let's instead train people to go to the beta features page and help us
build great products that meet both user and administrator needs upon first
release.

Yeah, that would be cool: I am tool "x", I do "y" and you can disable
me
pressing button "z". Let button "z" be a prominent element of the UI
for
the time of testing at large scale.
This way, we can get rid of some of the banners, thus reducing the risk
for ~-blindness and some of the trouble. VE has something similar now,
if I recall correctly (though the disable-me-button is missing).

I also like MMV as a visitor; but it doesn't fit into any
administrator's workflow at Commons most of the time. Perhaps you also
want to make it easier for anyone to report issues? Other sites have
heavy libraries allowing users to pick the trouble-maker, or take a
screenshot and cutting it, ...
