Does this report assume that the feature will be disabled by default??

No. The ticket is focused on supporting the following scenarios:

  • While the feature is available as a beta feature in all wikis, make sure that users moving around get a consistent experience.
  • If the feature becomes enabled by default gradually for different wikis, users get a consistent experience when moving across different languages.
