This is exactly why there is an opt-out for the feature.
We don't expect everyone to like everything we make. That's a reality. So take 10 seconds to go to your preferences and disable it, and you'll never see it again.

Well thank you Brion, at least that may explains why things are imposed to the editors community and that also explains the high rejection rate from the editors community of the new big features such as VE. For once take time, think about editors workflow.
For exemple on french wikipedia we used to have a direct link to Wikimedia Commons (we technically removed the description page proxy), now we have totally lost this feature. So yes you may think it's not important, but as an administrator on Wikimedia Commons it screws my workflow when I see an obvious copyvio on the French Wikipedia.
So yes you make software for your users, but I think you're underestimating part of your users that you should not.

Perhaps it's time to stop calling self-selected surveys of a tiny subset of our user base "community consensus".
The vast majority of our user base never logs in, never edits, and never even hears about these RfC pages. Those are the people we're making an encyclopedia for.

And those who do log in, edit, and comment on RfCs generally do so with the understanding, on some level, that everything they do, that the
entire
encyclopedia, is for the readers, because without an audience there would be nothing. They know their audience, they interact directly with this audience on the talkpages and in email, and indeed they often use the
site
exactly as this audience would, simply taking things a step further to
edit
as well.
So when they speak for the users who never log in, never edit, and never comment, do not discount them. No more than you discount yourself when
you
try to speak for the users who never log in, never edit, and never
comment.
