I don't think that sending newsletters and invites to get active again is the
same thing as sending notifications for changes that the user has decided to
follow. The previous experience with notifications for user talk message shows
that this annoyed mainly users of the English Wikipedia who don't edit other
wikis and hence didn't know that email notifications existed in MediaWiki and
thought it was something suspect or some big change.
That said, I agree that the most sensible thing to start with is to enable the
feature with the option disabled by the default for old users, but if possible
enabled by default for new users (who won't experience problems).

I agree, but this is unrelated and applies to all email notifications, please
file another bug for it.
