This is the key point.
Those of us who presently use talk pages to get the work done. What is
going to make us *love* Flow, for all its imperfections, and demand to
have it for ourselves? What's Flow's killer feature for us?
This really is the critical point.
If the WMF is developing new software that the community gets behind and explicitly asks
to be deployed, then it’s doing the right thing.
If it’s having to force new software on the community against its objections, then it’s
shooting itself in the foot.
