So we should also remove the 'email' feature?

Here's my thinking here; what we're trying to avoid is a situation where the
thanks button can in some way undermine consensus, or be used as a vector for
it - we don't need (as you've pointed out, Kww) a situation where an editor
justifies themselves based on thirty people hitting 'thank' on their edit.

Keeping the subject of the 'thank' unlogged is a way of ensuring that this
won't happen; it makes it utterly impossible for anyone to actually justify a
statement of "well, lotsa people thought it was a good edit, check out my log".
Adding the edits as an element makes this risk more likely, not less.
