Little gain?  For whom?

You are forcing communities to choose, which usually puts unhappiness into the 
losing part of any consensus. You are also practically forcing this to the 
default ON, yet where are the results of the use in beta that this there is a 
consensus that this is desired.  In fact prior to taking this to rollout that 
this is desired by the broader community? I instead see the conversation that 
it is stable.

This continued forcing of more things collectively into sidebars has to stop at 
some spot until there is more flexibility for sidebars, and more easily 
manipulated, especially with orders of groups. Developers seem to can forget 
that many do not have the skills to customise through code, and the preferences 
is meant to make it easy, and now the developers don't see that value?

I repeat that

- It should be an option for users to turn it on or off in their preferences
- Communities should have the ability to set it as their default ON or OFF, 
which users can then themselves manipulate. Communities should not have to go 
cap in hand to Wikidata for that configuration.

If that cannot happen then maybe it should not rollout.
