But perhaps you overlooked that a plan for such an opt-in system was already included in the September reprioritization announcement <https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2015-September/082993.html> which some (present company excluded) had their drama-and-doom focused mindset let them misinterpret as "Flow is getting killed".
