That makes absolutely no sense to me.  "Showing a message/disclaimer on the
account signup" is hardly a bizarre edge case; that (you thought) we don't use
it on our projects doesn't justify axing something which is reasonably useful
in many other cases.

Indeed, that we /do/ in fact use and need that message on Wikitech is a good
illustration that removing it preemptively was ill-advised.
