This is the point on which we fundamentally disagree. Their argument for 
'opt-out' is based solely upon the quality and quantity of testing that 
it affords to VE. VE is not a mission-critical feature: while we have 
concerns about Wikipedia's sustainability, there's no question that it 
has survived for years and will survive for years more. The stability of 
the site is much more important than testing this code, and the testing 
strategy of presenting it as if it was functioning software and seeing 
what people did with it wasn't a reasonable decision: it was completely 
and absolutely irresponsible.
