If Wikipedia or any other WMF sites deploy anything remotely related to
Facebook, be it Instant Personalization, or even anything slightly less 
intrusive, then I'm gone, both as a reader and an editor, and I'm pretty
sure I wouldn't be alone in that opinion.  Mission creep is alive and well
at Facebook.
