Please, do not enable this feature by default. A lot of people do not
like > 10 emails/day in their mailbox, and I have such amount of
watchlisted edits even in smaller projects like Meta.

Agree. The whole thing seems a tad unnecessary to me, since most users tend 
to contribute to their home language wikipedia, and perhaps Commons, but 
little else. A talk page edit is therefore unlikely to be important enough 
to need immediate action, but if the issue *is* important, a more focussed 
email may be sent to SUL users. Perhaps this might be a more useful option.
