Ah, it seems I was reading the right thing after all.

And at the bottom it says:

"Opt-in/Opt-out switch and survey: As the features above are deployed
as one of the user preferences, Opt-in/Opt-out page allows logged in
users to turn on and off multiple preferences for the usability
initiative at the same time. Users are asked to participate in a quick
short survey when they opt-out. This feature is scheduled to be
enabled early August."

Has anyone tried this new skin "Acai" yet? Or the other "Beta"
options? What do you think?
