I'm not generally for the introduction of new features that change
the fundamental operation of the site, for a variety of reasons: not
least of which is the lack of maintenance on the code driving the
features, as well as the basic lack of actual necessity. This is one
of the rare cases where I see it not only as useful, but also as a
smart step in the right direction. Lately folks have been stepping up
and taking interest in notes management, but who's to say it'll
continue as a trend. I know that, for myself, having spent the last
few years working to clean up the notes portion of the site, it
becomes very tedious very quickly. After somewhere around forty-one
million, nine-hundred-sixty-two, seven-hundred-fifty-eight notes
moderated, I believe, is where I noticed that.
So as long as you want to run lead on it, Sherif, and it's
something we can easily disable entirely, should some unforeseen
consequences arise as a result of the new voting/reporting features,
then you can count me in for a plus-one.
