If testing this new feature does NOT cause the servers to slow down immediately, then there is no reason not to try it out. Someone had claimed an immediate TRIPLING of access time, but Magnus says "I doubt it will degrade performance in the initial phase", and I believe him.
Magnus is one of the three people whom we all trust the most at Wikipedia. If he says there's no risk in a live test of a new feature, then I say there's no risk.
Tim Starling, do you agree?

1.)Try this on one of the smaller languaes
2.)try it around 3am on a monday
