Hopefully they add a GUI to configure the OptIn list, and the ability
to import a whitelist like Adblock and IETab.
If the user can opt in already, I
see no reason for us to support this
right now in any capacity.
Not many people know about this hack in the Registry. Perhaps it would be easier
for the user if someone could make an extension to Mediawiki that allows users to opt-in
to Google Chrome Frame.
The current release of Chrome Frame is targeted toward web developers,
presumably so they can test their own code in it. I would hope that once
its released for use by the general public that it will have a much more
sensible system for turning it on and off that doesn't require manually
editing the registry. Leaving the decision of whether or not to use it
to site owners would be a rather odd system. Making an extension to add
the meta tag wouldn't be difficult (there's at least one generic meta
tag extension already), but it would likely be made obsolete rather
quickly as well.
