Great! That is certainly how I feel about it, so I'm relieved the 
community feels likewise.

For those similarly enthusiastic, there is, as Cenarium points out, 
still some community work that needs to be done:

One thing that definitely needs sorting out is when the limit of 2000 
Pending Changes articles gets raised. We'll get some numbers on 
performance impact after it has been in use for a bit, but there has 
been some talk that we shouldn't raise the number purely because the 
servers can handle it. It'd be nice to have a clear signal on that by 
the time the technical issues are sorted.
