Actually, we're trying to avoid turning off AFT4. The reasoning is twofold.
On a product development front, the AFT5 presence is for testing purposes, and for testing purposes only; it will be up for around 2-3 weeks so we can build a decent picture of the quantity and quality of feedback we're getting. While this process is going on, we want to maintain a pretty coherent interface for the readers to avoid confusion - and AFT4 is much closer to AFT5 than no form at all is. On a data front, because the AFT5 presence is only for tests, and is only temporary (at least at the moment) there's no question of AFT4 feedback being ignored; the actual replacement of AFT4 with AFT5 on a wider scale is still quite some time away, and until that happens, I hope any AFT4 feedback will be taken into account.
