This just shows how you do not understand the proposal.  This is for
small wikis with few to no permanent administrators who *need* this
extra help.  If a wiki knows enough about Meta to be able to opt-in...
chances are it probably doesn't need the help.  It is much easier and
more efficient to have a *policy* opt-/out/.

Large wikis are already opted out in the proposed policy and have
their chance to create a local policy regarding their own regulations
of the tools (which a few have done).  Again, it's not possible to
have "opt-in, not opt-out"... it would defeat the purpose of this
proposal.
