Oliver, are you suggesting that asking for quantification is incompatible with assuming good faith, or implies bad faith?
Can you think of any editor engagement initiatives over the past years which were affected by the lack of quantified usability and quality assurance testing?

James, please try assuming a bit of good faith - namely that Steven might occasionally work with experienced developers, and consult them on issues like this, given that he's the Product Manager for a major engineering team and all ;p.

How many estimated days of developer work is the "major can of worms" of delivering thank notifications only, in a new way, to IPs? As cans of worms go, I'm pretty sure it would not be on the major end of the scale, if an experienced developer actually quantified it.

Actually sending thanks to IPs would require us to either send the notification in a new way, or deliver Echo notifications to anonymous editors. Either prospect is a major can of worms.
Ah, OK! I didn't realise that complication factor ...
(still it'd be fantastic to have)
