That's correct, Tom. 0.3 percent of the English language Wikipedia is being used as a testbed for the *rest* of the English-language Wikipedia; a tertiary testbed, since we've already run things through on both prototype and labs :). Obviously if we decide "lets deploy to other projects" we'd take localised concerns into account, and not just jump in. With the last version, interestingly, we had several projects *request* that we switch it on.
