- User:Trizek (WMF) Hm... I like the feature. I suspect that a lot of people will get, as I did when I enabled it, a slew of years old notifications, which I didn't like. May I suggest you limit this to notifications to those left after the change to the default? All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 19:21, 12 May 2016 (UTC).
- I might also suggest that 6 hours and 17 minutes is not very much notice. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 19:23, 12 May 2016 (UTC).

I've responded on English Wikipedia.
And concerning the short announcement, it is short because that feature is already widely used and that deployment will not have a massive impact. Or at least, I hope so! ;-)
Note, the plan to deploy by default was most recently announced in Tech/News on Monday, m:Tech/News/2016/19. The announcement today was just an extra emphasis, partially due to yesterday's uncertainty about whether the deployment train was stalled entirely this week (which was resolved last night). Hope that helps.
I know I should follow Tech News, but I don't. Nor do many people:

Tech/News doesn't have very many direct pageviews, but it's a newsletter which is delivered to many community and usertalk pages (including VPT) m:Global_message_delivery/Targets/Tech_ambassadors. That's where it is hoped most editors will see it. HTH! (Sidenote, sigs aren't needed in Flow posts. :-)
- Sigs have proper time stamps. Rich Farmbrough 21:44, 13 May 2016 (UTC).
We plan to fix those in Flow! phab:T94648. Thanks though ;-)
