in general, the sliding window approach is a pretty cool one - it removes my 
biggest objection
to these sort of 'doing something X times leads to magical implicit outcome Y' 
proposals - that the user
will be permanently opted in forever (possibly with no way to revoke this 
decision). 

i'll defer to UX and product on the details, but i think not making this opt in 
_permanent_
is desirable.

thanks
ian
