You just pointed out to the reason why I can't watch properly en.wiki
Technical Village Pump, and I still don't know how those that do organize
their lives.  :)

Back to the point about how to kill LiquidThreads. At least in a place like
mediawiki.org, the process could be something like

* announce a deprecation date n months down the road, while giving editors
the ability to get Flow in their user_talk pages already now (opt-in)

* define also a simple process for editors to request the Flowification of
pages they maintain

* agree on a transition plan for special pages like [[Project:Support
desk]], together with the contributors maintaining those pages

* by the due date, complete the transition -- no LQT, more Flow.
