I'd prefer to do commons on its own some other time because it is much higher traffic. Also, we're not even a BetaFeature in a few non-wikipedias and it wouldn't be fair (or even work) to just switch them on too. So all non-wikipedias that aren't Commons, Meta, or Incubator.
As always I'm open if you find any show stopper issues while trying Cirrus as a BetaFeature - we won't deploy it to a wiki that it'll make worse.
Sorry for the late notice,
