Honestly, given that we now have a nice interface in the block page where admins can select "allow this user to edit talk page (yes/no)". Perhaps we should kill this setting altogether.

I'll set this to be true by default for now and remove this option in trunk if noone complains about it.

Right now itwiki is the only one where it is not enabled. Completely removing this option may need a little discussion.
