Please no. There's been a dedicated effort in 2014 to reduce the number of user preferences. They're costly to maintain and they typically indicate a design flaw: software should be sensible by default and a user preference should only be a tool of last resort. The general issue of user preferences-creep remains particularly acute as global (across a wikifarm) user preferences still do not exist. Of course in this specific case, given the relationship with CentralAuth, you probably could actually have a wikifarm-wide user preference, but that really misses the larger point that user preferences should be avoided, if at all possible. I'll start a new thread about my broader thoughts here.
