--- Comment #7 from Isarra <[email protected]> ---
Perhaps you are not aware of the magnitude of this - on active projects such as
the english wikipedia, email notifications per EDIT to a watched page can mean
hundreds or thousands of emails per user per day. Now people can turn it off
before it gets to that point, but the initial turn on by default would be for
pretty much everyone, and that is not viable. When it was accidentally turned
on by default when the option was initially added, it really did back up the
mail queue after flooding many users.

If there were a way to enable this only for new users with a clear note in the
emails how they can turn it off when it is no longer useful to them, that would
probably be fine, but as it is the current infrastructure does not support such
fine tuning, to my knowledge.
